Product Description
Vintage International The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: A Memoir of Life in Death, Paperback
About This Item
The Vintage International edition of "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" is a deeply moving memoir that captures the indomitable human spirit and celebrates the power of consciousness. Written by former editor-in-chief of French Elle, Jean-Dominique Bauby, this book tells the tale of his life after suffering a rare kind of stroke to the brainstem and awakening to a body that had all but stopped working, with only his left eye functioning. Despite these challenges, Bauby was able to express himself in the richest detail, dictating a word at a time and blinking to select each letter. In this whimsical and poignant book, Bauby bears witness to his determination to live as fully in his mind as he was able to do in his body.
He explains the joy and deep sadness of seeing his children and of hearing his aged father's voice on the phone. He imagines traveling to other places and times and lying next to the woman he loves. He even imagines preparing and tasting the full flavor of delectable dishes, despite being fed only intravenously. This Vintage International edition of "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" is a testament to Bauby's life and his undying spirit.
By turns wistful, mischievous, angry, and witty, he returns again and again to an inexhaustible reservoir of sensations, keeping in touch with himself and the life around him. Don't miss out on this heart-wrenching and beautiful memoir. Order your copy now!.
