A story packed with hair-raising adventure, it is also a heart-warming account of readjustment to life on the outside and the sesolution of a conflict of motives within himself: on the one hand, the lure of the underworld, offering daring and danger, but also the possibility of revenge for the lost years in lonely, stinking cells; on the other, the appeal of going straight in a beautiful country where the free love of generous women promised to soothe even the most restless man.  \nRunning through the story is the theme of the banco--of the chance taken, the stakes risked, when the simple exhilaration of the game inspired Papillon to say to every kind of challenge: “Deal me in ... Banco lost? Well, then, banco again!” Thus, for instance, when he joined up with an ex-con and got involved in a crooked dice game with tough, suspicious gold-and diamond-miners in the Venezuelan interior. Even when the angry miners murdered his partner and vanished with the profits accumulated during two perilous weeks and Papi, then penniless, escaped only by the skin of his teeth--even then he remained undaunted. So also with his many other, varied adventures... That lust for life, that indomitability of spirit that made Papillon unique have by no means deserted him here.  \nA number-one best seller in Western Europe, Banco is indeed as vibrantly alive as Papillon--ferocious, funny, tender, and crowded with incident and excitement.  \nEnglish translation Copyright 1973 by Hart-Davis, MacGibbon.  \nOriginally published in France Copyright 1972 by Editions Robert Laffont S.A.  \nAll rights reserved.

He had no great opinion of himself as an author and he was quite willing to have it improved, cut about and put into “good French”; but the first publisher he sent it to happened to employ a brilliant editor who at once realized the exceptional quality of the manuscript and who delivered it to an astonished public in its original state, merely tidying up the punctuation, the spelling and a very few points of style.  \nThat was in 1970, the year of the phénomene Papillon, a phenomenon almost unparalleled in the annals of publishing: it was not only that an extraordinary number of people read the book (850,000 copies were sold in the first few months), but that the readers embraced the whole spectrum of literary opinion, from the Académie Française to those whose lips moved slowly as they made their fascinated way through the strange adventures of an indomitable man struggling against the society that had sent him to rot in the infamous tropical prisons of Guiana with a life sentence for a murder that he had never committed.  \nThey were all de","cbCaimE5e2re3hNF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimE5e2re3hNF","pdf",1768618,316,"English","# Translator’s Introduction\n## Papillon’s decision to write Papillon\n## The publishing phenomenon in 1970\n## The summary of the second volume facts","[{\"question\":\"What does the translator’s introduction emphasize about Papillon’s impact?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights the book’s extraordinary popularity and the readers’ deep response to injustice and to Papillon’s narrative power.\"}]","Banco - The Further Adventures of Papillon | PDF",1789940974,487]
