couverture souple. - Robert Laffont, Paris 1972, 15,5x23,5cm, broché. - Édition originale pour laquelle il n'a pas été tiré de grands papiers. Envoi autographe signé d'Henri Charrière au journaliste et historien Gilbert Guilleminault. Henri Charrière, dit Papillon, pupille de la nation et petit délinquant, avait été condamné au bagne en 1931 pour un meurtre qu'il a toujours nié. Plus de trente ans après, il relate sa terrible expérience dans ce texte autobiographique. Il y décrit la violence, l'injustice, les maladies ou les tentatives d'évasion, couronnées par des années d'exil en Amérique du Sud : « Pur de tout contact, notera son éditeur, et de toute ambition littéraire, ce qu'il écrit c'est "comme il vous le raconte", on le voit, on le sent, on le vit [.]. » Le livre rencontre un immense succès avant d'être adapté au cinéma avec Steve McQueen dans le rôle principal.

Lacking dustjacket. 334pp. Light wear to extremities, bumping to head and tail of spine, and some slight discoloration of the spine panel. Tight and trong, with a slight lean, a very good copy. Internally clean. Top edge stained red, some light soiling to rear pastedown. Illustrated. An autobiographical account of Guerin's incarceration and escape from Saint Laurent de Maroni prison in French Guiana, from the exact location later used by Henri de Charriere in his escape, later published as "Papillon." Guerin's life of crime was colorful and audacious, with his robbery of the American Express office in Paris making international headlines. He escaped from French Guiana and made his way home, only to discover that his lover and literal partner in crime "Chacogo May" Churchill, had deserted him for another man.

Very Good+ with small remnant of a label on the front wrap, light wear, pages towards rear uncut. Very nice shape for a vintage paperback. Rare, with four institutional copies located in OCLC, often wrongly dated 1929. The memoirs of a French anarchist and thief, dragged from the court room shouting "Long live anarchy!" and imprisoned for his crimes on Devil's Island, off the coast of the South American colony of French Guiana. He somehow escaped and made it to New York where he would live the rest of his life in the active Galleanist wing of anarchism, an Italian-centric movement that embraced the terrorist illegalism Duval practiced in France and Duval himself as a celebrity. The story of his escape from Devil's Island reputedly inspired French criminal-turned-author Henri Charrière's 1969 bestselling novel Papillon. The book's publisher, Andrea Salsedo, planned this excerpt from Duval's larger memoirs as the first volume of many, but was arrested for his anarchist beliefs by the American Bureau of Investigation (prototype of the FBI) in late February 1920. May 3, 1920 Salsedo's body was found in front of the BOI's Park Row offices in NYC, Salsedo having apparently spent the preceding weeks being interrogated (to put it mildly), perhaps snitching on his comrades, and either deciding to commit suicide or being suicided out of a 14th floor window. Two days later famous anarchist martyrs Sacco and Vanzetti would be arrested.
