Description
The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly A remarkable memoir about the human spirit's capacity to persevere in the face of adversity. In December 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby suffered a massive stroke, leaving him paralysed and speechless. Yet, his mind remained active and alert, and he used his only functioning muscle - his left eyelid - to dictate a book about his experiences. With painstaking effort, Bauby spelled out his story letter by letter, creating a poignant and powerful account of his lonely existence. This extraordinary book is a testament to the human spirit's ability to invent a life in the most challenging of circumstances.
