Few survived and fewer were able to tell the stories of their life in that hell. Duval spent fourteen years doing hard labor--espousing the values of anarchism and demonstrating the ideals by being a living example the entire time--before making his daring escape and arriving in New York City, welcomed by the Italian and French anarchists there. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is much more than an historical document about the anarchist movement and the penal colony. It is a remarkable story of survival by one man's self-determination, energy, courage, loyalty, and hope. It was thanks to being true and faithful to his ideals that Duval survived life in this hell. Unlike the well-known prisoner Papillon, who arrived and dramatically escaped soon after Duval, he encouraged his fellow prisoners to practice mutual aid, through their deeds and not just their words. It is a call to action for mindful, conscious people to fight for their rights to the very end, to never give up or give in. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMore than just a story of a life or a testament of ideals, here is a monument to the human spirit and a war cry for freedom and justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClément Duval was an infamous 19th-century French illegalist, propagandist, and anarchist. \u003cstrong\u003eMichael Shreve is a writer, a translator, and a language teacher.
