Papillon by Henri Charrière

3.0

I have read the Burmese translation of this book as a child just out of curiosity and it somehow stuck with me. Reading the English translation brought back a lot of nostalgic memories. I think it successfully illustrates that the need to change a rotten system and the need for individual struggle go hand in hand in describing the horrible French justice system of bagne and Papillon's unwavering determination for a cavale.
