  • "This is the astonishing, profoundly moving memoir of a man afflicted by locked-in- syndrome, a state of virtually total paralysis that leaves the victim, in th author's own words, "like a mind in a jar." In 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby was editor in chief of French Elle, the father of 2 young children, a man known and loved for his wit and passion for life. But after suffering a stroke, Bauby found himself in a body that had all but stopped working: only his left eye functioned, allowing him to see and, by blinking, to make clear that his mind was unimpaired."
  • "In December 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby, the 43-year-old editor of French Elle, suffered a massive stroke that left him permanently paralyzed, a victim of "locked in syndrome." Once known for his gregariousness and wit, Bauby now finds himself imprisoned in an inert body, able to communicate only by blinking his left eye. The miracle is that in doing so he was able to compose this stunningly eloquent memoir. In a voice that is by turns wistful and mischievous, angry and sardonic, Bauby gives us a celebration of the liberating power of consciousness: what it is like to spend a day with his children, to imagine lying in bed beside his wife, to conjure up the flavor of delectable meals even as he is fed through at tube. Most of all, this triumphant book lets us witness an indomitable spirit and share in the pure joy of its own survival. From the Trade Paperback edition."@en

Cet oeil est son lien avec le monde ; c'est avec lui qu'il a écrit ce livre, nous envoyant des cartes postales d'un monde que nous ne pouvons imaginer."

  • ""Le 8 décembre 1995, brutalement, un accident vasculaire a plongé Jean-Dominique Bauby dans un coma profond. Quand il en est sorti, toutes ses fonctions motrices étaient détériorées. Atteint de ce qu'on appelle le 'locked-in syndrome' - littéralement : enfermé à l'intérieur de lui-même -, il ne pouvait plus bouger, manger, parler ou même simplement respirer sans assistance. Dans ce corps inerte, seul un oeil bouge. Cet oeil - le gauche -, c'est son lien avec le monde, avec les autres, avec la vie. Avec son oeil, il cligne une fois pour dire 'oui', deux fois pour dire 'non'. Avec son oeil, il arrête l'attention de son visiteur sur les lettres de l'alphabet qu'on lui dicte et forme des mots, des phrases, des pages entières ... Avec son oeil, il a écrit ce livre : chaque matin pendant des semaines, il en a mémorisé les pages avant de les dicter, puis de les corriger. Sous la bulle de verre de son scaphandre où volent des papillons, il nous envoie ces cartes postales d'un monde que nous ne pouvons qu'imaginer - un monde où il ne reste rien qu'un esprit à l'oeuvre. L'esprit est tour à tour sarcastique et désenchanté, d'une intensité qui serre le coeur. Quand on n'a plus que les mots, aucun mot n'est de trop."--Book cover."

  • "In 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby was the editor in chief of French Elle, the father of two young children, a forty-three-year-old man known and loved for his wit, his style, and his impassioned approach to life. By the end of the year he was also the victim of a rare kind of stroke to the brain stem. After twenty days in a coma, Bauby awoke into a body that had all but stopped working: only his left eye functioned, allowing him to see and, by blinking, to make clear that his mind was unimpaired. Almost miraculously, he was soon able to express himself in the richest detail, blinking to select letters one by one as a special alphabet was slowly recited to him, over and over again. In the same way, he was eventually able to compose this extraordinary book. By turns wistful, mischievous, angry and witty, Bauby bears witness to his determination to live as fully in his mind as he had been able to in his body. He explains the joy, and the deep sadness, of seeing his children and of hearing his aged father's voice on the phone. In magical sequences, he imagines traveling to other places and times; of lying next to the woman he loves. Fed only intravenously, he imagines preparing and tasting the full flavor of delectable dishes. Again and again he returns to an "inexhaustible reservoir of sensations," keeping in touch with himself and the life around him."

  • ""On December 8, 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby, editor in chief of fashion magazine French Elle suffered a massive stroke, leaving him prisoner inside his own body, only able to communicate with the blinking of his left eye. Inside the Diving Bell, as he referred to his body, his memory and imagination, the Butterfly, remained untouched by the tragedy. Using a special alphabet, Bauby went on to defy the odds and fulfil his dream of writing a book, showing the amazing resilience of the human spirit." [box cover note]."
  • "À la suite d'un accident vasculaire cérébral massif Jean-Dominique se réveille aphasique et tétraplégique. Alors que sa conscience et ses facultés intellectuelles restent intactes, il se retrouve enfermé dans ce qu'il va considérer comme son scaphandre avec pour seul moyen de communication le mouvement de sa paupière droite qui libère son esprit-papillon. C'est une infirmière qui va transcrire lettre après lettre, au gré des battements de son unique paupière, les textes qu'il prépare et retient à longueur de jour et de nuit dans son immobilité accablante. Un récit bouleversant de courage d'abord dans l'énergie qu'il a nécessitée pour sa rédaction, mais aussi dans le témoignage souvent ironique qu'il fournit sur cette effroyable immobilité."
