How Jean-Dominique Bauby used his eye lid to write a book? | Motivational story in Urdu Jean-Dominique Bauby was a French journalist, author and editor of the French fashion magazine Elle. Bauby suffered a cerebrovascular seizure at the age of 43. Before his seizure, Bauby had signed a contract to write a book. His speech therapist, Sandrine Fichou, arranged a 26-letter alphabet according to frequency of use, so that he could dictate. Claude Mendibil, a ghostwriter and freelance book editor, was sent by his publisher Robert Laffont to take the dictation using a system called partner-assisted scanning. She recited the alphabet until Bauby blinked at the correct letter, and recorded the 130-page manuscript letter by letter over the course of two months, working three hours a day, seven days a week. The resulting book, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, was published on Friday, 7 March 1997. Bauby died suddenly from pneumonia, aged 44, two days later. He is buried in a family grave at the Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris, France. Subscribe to Pakistan Ka Podcast. Also, click on the notification bell to get our videos on time.
