In 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby suffered a severe cardiovascular accident that plunged him into a deep coma. Weeks later, he awoke with his body paralyzed but his mind intact, suffering from "locked-in syndrome." His only connection to the world was his left eye, through which, by blinking, he composed words and entire pages. This book is the testimony of his existence and his reflections on the limits of the human condition, dictated letter by letter with his eye. A brief but immense work that explores the depth of the human spirit in extreme circumstances.
Jean-Dominique Bauby was a French journalist, author and editor of the French fashion magazine Elle.
