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

我是眼含着泪水读完这本《潜水钟与蝴蝶》的，其实从我阅读它的第一页开始就一直在止不住的眼睛湿润。我的心和思想同时被撞击着。因为他的痛苦我身受感同、因为他的喜悦，那些小小的而又巨大的欢喜与自嘲的幽默、因为他的关于许多事物的美好而细腻的意想。 的确，他的身...  

本来无意起取这个传说中的凄美墓志铭。 本来想说说这本书的许多，许多。 但阅读的过程中间，眼前总是萦绕着刨比写作此书时的艰难与悲壮。在我眼中，这可能是人世间完成得最悲壮的一本书。 他并不是想要在世间留下记录、痕迹和一个让人永远怀念的印子，而是要留住一份尊严，一抹...  

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。...  

阅读对于我来说是件孤独的事情，也是件排解孤独的事情。当心里那些个大大小小的过节，实在找不到排解的出口的时候，我便会捧起那些我长久以来想看却无暇欣赏的书。这些书，便会随着我的阅读，带着我的回忆，我的秘密，一起悄无声息的沉淀下去，仿佛什么都没发生过一样。 其实...  

我会去看这本书，其实是出于职业上的好奇心：人最糟在什么情况下还会想写作？人在这样的情况下会写些什么？ 让-多米尼克·鲍比，法国人，著名的时尚杂志《ELLE》的主编，两个孩子的父亲。1995年12月8日，原本是非常普通的一天，他还清楚地记得那天他去了哪里，做了什么，车上放...
