Description
Banco is the sensational sequel to Papillon, continuing the adventures of Henri Charriere as he navigates life after thirteen years of escape and imprisonment in Venezuela. Despite his resolve to become an honest man, Charriere finds himself drawn into a world of hair-raising exploits with various groups, including goldminers, gamblers, bank-robbers, and revolutionaries.
As he becomes embroiled in these high-stakes activities, Charriere's love for life remains strong. He runs night clubs in Caracas, but an earthquake ruins his business in 1967, prompting him to write the book that brings international fame. This gripping account of Charriere's adventures is a testament to his enduring spirit and unyielding desire for freedom.
