Book still in a good used condition. >>> This book is for anybody who craves more Papillon - if it left you dying to know what happened to Charrière afterwards, then here it is! This lesser-known sequel follows his subsequent life as a free man in Venezuela, a country he describes with great affection. Having got to know him in the first book, it is fascinating to follow the life choices he makes with his long-desired and hard-fought freedom. - As would be expected, his thirst for adventure and his desire to make up for the youth he has largely lost to the penal system will not let him keep his feet in one place for long. He gravitates naturally to that murky limbo between a legitimate existence and the underworld, lives by his wits and takes wins and losses, successes and failures in his stride with equal measure. He seems as much at home in diamond mines in the remote jungle, sprawling concrete cities, and the fishing villages of the Caribbean coast. He matures with each new venture, as though his youth was merely delayed, not altogether lost. As in Papillon, everything is recounted in Charrières clear, honest written voice. - If you have not read Papillon, read it before reading this book. (Luke Marsdon on Goodreads) * Adventure *
