Description 139 pages ; 23 cm Summary 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 it clear that his mind was unimpaired Notes Translation of Le scaphandre et le papillon Subject Bauby, Jean-Dominique, 1952-1997.
