Courage against adversity

Papillon, a book must be read by every one. It is famous novel based upon real story of Henri Charrière (1906 – 1973) who was convicter for s murder. It is riveting account of courage against all odds. He remained in prison for 14-years (October 26, 1931 to October 18, 1945). He finally escaped the prison by building a raft. Many of his escape attempts fail, but his will for survival and freedom stays just as strong as the day he is convicted. In a lot of ways, Papillon teaches you that giving up on life, both mentally and physically, will only be your downfall.
