Papillon #2

Banco: The Further Adventures of Papillon

... Show More
Here at last is the sensational sequel to PAPILLON - the great story of escape and adventure that took the world by storm.

Banco continues the adventures of Henri Charrière - nicknamed 'Papillon' - in Venezuela, where he has finally won his freedom after thirteen years of escape and imprisonment. Despite his resolve to become an honest man, Charrière is soon involved in hair-raising exploits with goldminers, gamblers, bank-robbers, revolutionaries - robbing and being robbed, his lust for life as strong as ever. He also runs night-clubs in Caracas until an earthquake ruins him in 1967 - when he decides to write the book that brings him international fame.

Henri Charrière died in 1973 at the age of 66.

BANCO is ferocious, funny, tender, crowded with incident and excitement

BANCO is as vibrantly alive as PAPILLON

BANCO is the work of a born story-teller.

✏️هانرى شارير سرنوشت واقعى خودش رو در دو كتاب به رشته ى تحرير در آورده. .
#بانكو در بانكو هانرى شارير به نوشتن ادامه ى داستان زندگى اش بعد از آخرين فرار ش كه موفقيت آميز بود و به ونزوئلا رسيد مى پردازد. او توانست تابعيت كشور ونزوئلا را بگيرد و شروع به كار كند، ازدواج كند و براى خودش خانواده تشكيل دهد. او نهايتاًبه دليل اينكه پرونده اش شامل مرور زمان شد بعد از سى و هفت سال توانست به پاريس برگردد. بانكو به اندازه ى پاپيون هيجان نداشت و پر از توضيحات اضافه و حوصله سر بر بود.

Замечательное завершение, более весомого и тяжелого романа «мотылёк», этим коротким произ��едением автор поставил все точки....

Not as good as Papillon #1, but this man had adventures! In 300 pages, you get the best AND the worst of humanity, with a thoughtful narrative.

مِن‌جمله کتاب‌هایی که خواندنشان ارزش زندگی را متبادر می‌کند. فرم کتاب، کاملاً با اقتباس‌های سینمایی فرق داشت و دقیقا به‌بهترین شکل به بیان داستان پرداخته بود. داستانی که همیشه جذاب و ملموس است.

It is amazing to think that this is a true story. Papillon (Henri Charriere) has so many unfortunate escapades in his life after he leaves the penal colony, that it reads like highly imaginative fiction. His greatly adventurous life does calm down a bit once he has met the love of his life and settles down at last, but even then it is not the end of the turmoils in his financial situation. A lively read, with a very reflective conclusion.
