Editorial Reviews

Product Description
En 1995 un derrame cerebral sumió a Jean-Dominique Bauby en un coma profundo, del que despertó viente días más tarde con el cuerpo completamente paralizado pero con las facultades mentales intactas. Afectado de un síndrome de bloqueo interno sólo podía abrir el ojo izquierdo, su ùnico medio de comunicación con el exterio era parpadeando. Giñaba una vez para asentir y dos para negar. Con su ojo retenía la atención del visitante en las letras del alfabeto que se le dictaban y componía palabras, frases, páginas enteras. Con su ojo escribió este libro.

Con una ironia sutilísima, Bauby, quien antes de sufrir el derrame había triunfado profesionalmente en la revista Elle, deja constancia de sus memorias y reflexiones en un breve libro de sobrecogedora dimensión humana.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eloquent and Thoughtful, May 22, 2000
By A Customer
This book is captivating and touching in both English and Spanish. Knowing that each and every letter of every word written was such an effort and struggle to write...makes the experience of reading this novel that much more powerful. This book is truly eloquent and thoughtful, as well as inspiring and beautiful. The reader will close this book with a greater appreciation of what they have now.

2.0 out of 5 stars Habra que leerla en su idioma original, November 3, 2008
By Alfredo Mendoza "Al" (Mexico City, Mexico) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
No sé mucho Francés, pero me atrevo a pensar que la traducción al español no es del todo convincente, sin duda habrá que leer la obra en su idioma original o ver si en Inglés es mucho más eficaz.

4.0 out of 5 stars Testimonio de la fortaleza humana, June 14, 2008
Un relato realmente conmovedor acerca de lo grandioso del espiritu humano y su fortaleza ante las adversidades. Es una historia real que nos obliga a reflexionar sobre el verdadero proposito y sentido de la vida.
