One of the most unforgettable memoirs ever written.

Jean-Dominique Bauby's diary is a unique work that describes his experiences being trapped inside his own body after a severe stroke. With the help of only one functioning muscle - his left eyelid - he managed to narrate his remarkable story, spelling it out word by word.

The "Diving Bell and the Butterfly" captures Bauby's isolated existence but also the ability to invent a life for oneself under the most terrifying conditions. It is one of the most extraordinary books about the triumph of the human spirit ever written.
