Banco es la segunda novela autobiográfica de Henri Charrière, continuación de su exitosa obra Papillon. En este libro, Charrière responde a las numerosas cartas de lectores que deseaban conocer más sobre su vida después de su última liberación. El autor relata sus vivencias llenas de riesgo y su constante búsqueda de dinero, no para vivir lujosamente, sino para financiar su regreso a Francia y vengarse de aquellos que lo condenaron injustamente. Banco es una crítica a las instituciones de justicia, policía y sistema penitenciario.
Henri Charrière was a French writer who was convicted of murder in 1931 by the French courts and pardoned in 1970. He wrote the 1969 novel Papillon, a memoir of his incarceration in and escape from a penal colony in French Guiana. While Charrière claimed that Papillon was largely true, modern researchers believe that much of the book's material came from other inmates, rather than Charrière himself. Charrière denied committing the murder, although he freely admitted to having committed various other petty crimes prior to his incarceration.
