One of the most remarkable memoirs ever written. The diary of
Jean-Dominique Bauby who, with his left eyelid (the only surviving
muscle after a massive stroke) dictated a remarkable book about his
experiences locked inside his body. A masterpiece and a bestseller
in France. In December 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby, editor-in-chief
of French Elle and the father of two young children, suffered a
massive stroke and found himself paralysed and speechless. But his
mind remained as active and alert as it had ever been. Using his
only functioning muscle - his left eyelid - he was determined to
tell his remarkable story, painstakingly spelling it out letter by
letter. The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly records Bauby's lonely
existence but also the ability to invent a life for oneself in the
most appalling of circumstances. It one of the most extraordinary
books about the triumph of the human spirit ever written.
