«L'Escafandre i la Papallona» is the autobiography of Jean-Dominique Bauby, published by Columna CAT in paperback, in Catalan.
Jean-Dominique Bauby, editor at Elle, was left paralysed after a stroke and could only communicate by blinking his left eye. Using this method, he dictated this testimony about his bedridden life, his memories and his imagination, contrasting the diving bell that imprisons his body with the butterfly that symbolises the freedom of the mind.
Clàssica collection; Catalan translation by Pau Joan Hernàndez; original title: Le Scaphandre et le Papillon; published in December 1997.
For readers of biographies and real-life testimonies, and for those seeking a moving account of personal overcoming.
