Amazon.co.uk Review

On December 8, 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby's life was forever altered when a part of his body he'd never heard of--his brain stem--was rendered inactive. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, his exquisitely painful memoir, is neither a triumphant account of recovery nor a journey into the abyss of self-pity. Instead, it is a tender testament to the power of language and love. At 43, Bauby was defined by success, wit and charisma. But in the course of a few bewildering minutes, the editor-in-chief of French Elle became a victim of the rare locked-in syndrome. The only way he could express his frustration, however, was by blinking his left eye. The rest of his body could no longer respond. Bauby was determined to escape the paralysis of his diving bell and free the butterflies of his imagination. And with the help of ESA, "a hit parade in which each letter is placed according to the frequency of its use in the French language," Bauby did so. Visitors, and eventually his editor, would read each letter aloud and he would blink at the right one. Slowly--painstakingly-- words, sentences, paragraphs and even this graceful book emerged.

Bauby relays the horrors and small graces of his struggle, which range from awaking one day to discover his right eye being sewn shut to realising the significance of Father's Day, a holiday previously absent from his family's "emotional calendar": "Today we spent the whole of the symbolic day together, affirming that even a rough sketch, a shadow, a tiny fragment of a dad is still a dad." The author makes it clear that being locked in doesn't kick open the doors of perception, but The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is nonetheless a celebration of life. Jean Dominique-Bauby died of a heart attack on March 9, 1997, two days after his book was published in France. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

读后感

这是一本很薄的书，译成中文只有四万两千字左右，比起洋洋洒洒的大部头作品来说，它显得十分的轻薄。但就是这四万两千字，记录了一个生命从1995年12月中风至1997年3月辞世间的一段艰难人生。所有的文字是书写者凭借左眼皮眨眼的力量，指导友人记录下来的，所以这四万两千字的厚...

设想自己行将入土，你会在生命里残存的日子去做点什么？ 如果此时你寸步难移，连转身都无法做到呢？ 如果你不仅无法动弹，连与人交流也无法开口，而只能通过眨眼示意呢？ 初见这本书，让我想起了前几年讲述高位截瘫者雷蒙的一部电影《深海长眠》，虽然他们讲述的主题不一样。...

补记一下，高中听完的电子书，朗读者 René Auberjonois, 封面是浸在深蓝夜色中的灯塔。从来没想过这本书有一天会因为电影改编火起来。
