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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean-Dominique Bauby","offers":[{"title":"144 pages \/ 13\/04\/2023 \/ Diaries, letters \u0026 journals","offer_id":56965385355639,"sku":"9780008610036","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9780008610036_958ab186-a843-4032-915e-d74c8b43c5d0.jpg?v=1780924333","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9780008610036","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
