Jean-Dominique Bauby wrote a book flapping eyelashes

December 8, 1995 the Journal of Jean-Dominique Bauby at age 43 moved the strongest stroke - close to Bobby was a son (they were going for a ride in his new sports car). Twenty days later, Bobby came out of the coma and discovered that paralyzed his entire body except his left eye. Doctors at the clinic invented a special alphabet for Bobby, in which the letters were placed on the frequency of their use of the French language. Typically, a speech therapist slowly read the letter in that particular order, and if it was the correct letter, then Bauby blinked once. One blink means "yes," two flashes - "no." In this way, Bauby was able to write a book, "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" of his inner world and about feelings. The book was a huge success. Critics have called it "The novel, written by flapping eyelashes." Bauby died of pneumonia just ten days after the publication of the book.
