In my case, blinking my left eyelid is my only means of communication.’\n\nIn December 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby, editor-in-chief of French ‘Elle’ and the father of two young children, suffered a massive stroke and found himself paralysed and speechless, but entirely conscious, trapped by what doctors call ‘locked-in syndrome’. Using his only functioning muscle – his left eyelid – he began dictating this remarkable story, painstakingly spelling it out letter by letter.\n\nHis book offers a haunting, harrowing look inside the cruel prison of locked-in syndrome, but it is also a triumph of the human spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"France Loisirs (January 1, 1997)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44977654562869,"sku":"ByrdShop_2744111597","price":93.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9782744111594_5876f576-1506-4d25-96ef-25a1bc610447.jpg?v=1778840949","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/le-scaphandre-et-le-papillon-9782744111594","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
