«O escafandro e a borboleta» is the autobiography of Jean-Dominique Bauby, published by Editora Livros do Brasil in paperback (152 pages, in Portuguese).
After a stroke in 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby, editor of Elle magazine, was left almost completely paralysed by locked-in syndrome; he could only move his left eyelid and with it dictated his memoirs: memories, dreams and impressions of confinement, where imagination becomes a means of escape.
Work originally published in French as «Le Scaphandre et le Papillon» in 1997; this Portuguese edition, translated by Clarisse Tavares, was published in 2007.
Work suitable for reading clubs and for readers interested in real memoirs about illness and disability.
Jean-Dominique Bauby was a French journalist, author and editor of the French fashion magazine Elle.
