Libro Prima edizione Edizione Internazionale
Soft cover. Condizione: As New. 1st Edition. As new condition color illustrated softcover wraps. Translated from the French by Jeremy Leggatt. #1 International bestseller. First Vintage International Edition. "A wistful poetic, ironic and whimsically affirmative testament by a man who refused to die in spirit." - The New York Times. A New York Times Notable Book of the Year. "One of the great books of the century.You read [it] at one go, so gripping is this voyage to the inner heart and mind." - Financial Times. "In December 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby, the forty-three-year-old editor of French Elle, suffered a massive stroke that left him completely and permanently paralyzed, a victim of "locked-in syndrome." Where once he had been renowned for his gregariousness and wit, Bauby now found himself imprisoned in an inert body, able to communicate only by blinking his left eye. The miracle is that in doing so he was able to compose this stunningly eloquent memoir, which was published two days before Bauby's death in 1996 and went on to become a number-one bestseller across Europe. The second miracle is that The Diving Bell and the Butterfly is less a record of affliction that it is a celebration of the liberating power of consciousness. In a voice that is by turns wistful and mischievous, angry and sardonic, Bauby tells us what it is like to spend a day with his children; to imagine lying in bed beside his lover; to conjure up the flavor of delectable meals even as he is fed by tube. Most of all, this triumphant book allows us to follow the flight of an indomitable spirit and to share its exultation at its own survival." "A book of surpassing beauty, a testament to the freedom and vitality and delight of the human mind." - Oliver Sacks.

Libro Prima edizione
Hard Cased. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. First Edition. 139pp. Translated by Jeremy Leggatt. On 8 December 1995, the author a 42 year-old father of two and editor-in-chief of Elle Magazine in Paris, suffered a massive stroke and slipped into a coma. When he regained consciousness three weeks later, he was paralysed, speechless and only able to move one muscle; his left eyelid. Yet his mind remained as active and alert as ever. By signalling that has eyelid he "dictated" this book, blinking to indicate each individual letter as an alphabet was repeatedly read to him. Trapped inside his own body, his dispatches are poignant and often wryly humourous. -- front fold over blurb of the hardcover. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A near fine copy of the UK first edition, first printing hardback - in a near fine dustjacket (not price-clipped) - fitted with a removable, clear mylar sleeve - All my books are always securely packed with plenty of bubblewrap in professional boxes and promptly dispatched (within 2-3 days) - "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" - Pictures available upon request.
