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.

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。...
评分让-多米尼克•鲍比全身的所有器官都下了地狱,除了一只能动的左眼皮,于是便有了《潜水钟与蝴蝶》,一曲忧伤疲惫但略带灵魂安息之美的生命离伤。两个月后,鲍比去了天堂的某个地方,他全身都像羽毛一般轻盈,翅膀划过天空就会听到灵魂的叮叮当当,但是我们却已然失去了他...
评分生命是伤痛、蔑视与赞美 --《潜水钟与蝴蝶》 如果有谁把《潜水钟与蝴蝶》当成一本励志书,那他就错了,事实上,这是一本神秘而可怕的书。当一个神志清醒的人全身肌肉瘫痪、除了眼皮哪儿都不能动的时候,"自强不息、身残志坚"之类的词语,都会变成毫无意义的废话。这样的悲剧...
评分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...
