{"product_id":"diving-bell-and-the-butterfly-book-jean-dominique-bauby-9780008329747","title":"The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly","description":"One of the most remarkable memoirs ever written.                                     One of the ten books – novels, memoirs and one very unusual biography – that make up our Matchbook Classics’ series, a stunningly redesigned collection of some of the best loved titles on our backlist.                         In December 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby, editor-in-chief of French Elle and the father of two young children, suffered a massive stroke and found himself paralysed and speechless. But his mind remained as active and alert as it had ever been.             Using his only functioning muscle – his left eyelid – he was determined to tell his remarkable story, painstakingly spelling it out letter by letter.             The Diving-Bell and the Butterfly records Bauby’s lonely existence but also the ability to invent a life for oneself in the most appalling of circumstances. It one of the most extraordinary books about the triumph of the human spirit ever written.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49531338948881,"sku":"GOR009841720","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49945858277649,"sku":"GOR010115080","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50607178383633,"sku":"GOR011911301","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53625223446801,"sku":"GOR012946755","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0008329745.jpg?v=1751004389","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/diving-bell-and-the-butterfly-book-jean-dominique-bauby-9780008329747","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
