«Le scaphandre et le papillon» is the autobiographical account by Jean-Dominique Bauby, published by France Loisirs in hardcover (139 pages, in French).
After a stroke, Jean-Dominique Bauby was left paralyzed and speechless, with his mind intact, trapped in locked-in syndrome. Bauby dictated this testimony letter by letter by blinking with his left eye. The work combines memories and reflections on the body, memory and inner freedom, and is a testimony of resilience.
The stroke that prompted the book occurred in December 1995. This edition dates from 1997.
For readers of memoirs and biographies, and for those who value personal triumph testimonies.
