After a vascular accident, Jean-Dominique Bauby was left with locked-in syndrome: he could only move one eye, with which he blinked to dictate, letter by letter, these memoirs. In them he evokes loved ones, travels, music and film, and reflects on inner freedom and life reduced to an immobile body.
Jean-Dominique Bauby worked as a journalist; «Le Scaphandre et le Papillon» was published in France in 1997.
For reading clubs and readers interested in autobiographies and testimonies about disability.
