			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>        <img src="/DOCUME%7E1/MANUEL%7E1.VIE/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-9.jpg" /></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://perso.ens-lyon.fr/yves.daoulatian/pmb/opac_css/images/vignettes/2266080598.jpg" height="240" width="240" /></div>
<p>En lisant ce livre, j&#8217;étais surtout frappée par les images évoquées par J-D Bauby.  Il tisse une toile riche au fil de laquelle on perçoit le contraste net entre &#8220;le scaphandre&#8221; et &#8220;le papillon&#8221;, métaphores profondes de l&#8217;étouffement physique et de l&#8217;exaltation de l&#8217;imagination et de l&#8217;esprit.  Pour moi, c&#8217;était un véritable plaisir de lire la version originale  (c&#8217;est-à-dire en français) telle que conçue par Bauby.  Je n&#8217;ai pas lu la traduction anglaise, et je n&#8217;en ai presque pas envie. . . sauf peut-être d&#8217;un oeil linguistique, pour voir si la richesse du langage et des images produisent le même effet dans une autre langue.          Voici quelques-unes de la myriade des citations qui m&#8217;ont émue:</p>
<p><b><font color="#008080">&#8220;<i>Derrière le rideau de toile mitée une clarté laiteuse annonce l&#8217;approche du petit matin.</i>&#8221; (9)</font></b></p>
<p>Cette phrase débute le livre.  J&#8217;aime bien le soupçon de l&#8217;allitération qui fait que la phrase coule bien facilement.  L&#8217;image de la qualité &#8220;laiteuse&#8221; de la lumière a une telle précision qu&#8217;en lisant cette phrase, je me sens presque éblouie par ce soleil qui perce à peine les nuages de l&#8217;aube.</p>
<p><b><font color="#008080">&#8220;<i>Le scaphandre devient moins oppressant, et l&#8217;esprit peut vagabonder comme un papillon.  Il y a tant à faire.  On peut s&#8217;envoler dans l&#8217;espace ou dans le temps, partir pour la Terre de Feu ou la cour du roi Midas.  On peut rendre visite à la femme aimée, se glisser auprès d&#8217;elle et caresser son visage encore endormi.  On peut bâtir des châteaux en Espagne, conquérir la Toison d&#8217;or, découvrir l&#8217;Atlantide, réaliser ses rêves d&#8217;enfant et ses songes d&#8217;adulte.</i>&#8221; (10-11)</font></b></p>
<p>Evidemment, cette citation s&#8217;avère significative car c&#8217;est ici que Bauby se sert des deux métaphores qui ont donné lieu au titre du livre.  J&#8217;étais attirée par la métaphore du scaphandre car j&#8217;ai une phobie d&#8217;être submergée dans l&#8217;eau.  Je suis assez claustrophobe, et c&#8217;est la sensation d&#8217;avoir perdu contrôle et d&#8217;être sans ressource qui me fait peur.  En mettant en parallèle mes propres sentiments vis-à-vis le scaphandre de Bauby (l&#8217;espace clos, la solitude devant l&#8217;immensité de l&#8217;eau qui nous engloutit), je peux imaginer ce que Bauby a voulu communiquer en se servant de cette métaphore.</p>
<p><b><font color="#008080">&#8220;<i>D&#8217;un seul coup j&#8217;entrevoyais l&#8217;effarante réalité.  Aussi aveuglante qu&#8217;un champignon atomique.  Mieux acérée que le couperet d&#8217;une guillotine.</i>&#8221; (15)</font></b></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Le choc de la reconnaissance de son état et de l&#8217;inexorabilité de son destin est rendu si vif par ces deux images: le champignon atomique et la guillotine.  J&#8217;ai bien aimé la phrase &#8220;Mieux acérée que le couperet d&#8217;une guillotine&#8221; car c&#8217;était très &#8220;française&#8221;.  </font></p>
<p><b><font color="#008080">&#8220;<i>Muni d&#8217;une tasse de thé ou d&#8217;un whisky, d&#8217;un bon livre ou d&#8217;une pile de journaux, je marinais longuement en manoeuvrant les robinets avec les doigts de pied.</i>&#8221; (22-23)</font></b></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Quelle description luxueuse!  Cela m&#8217;a vraiment donné envie de prendre un long bain relâchant (ce que, regrettablement, je ne fais <u>jamais</u>.  Un simple plaisir presque hédoniste dans son indolence. . .</font></p>
<p><b><font color="#008080">&#8220;[. . .] <i>j&#8217;ai enfoui ma tête dans les plis de sa robe de gaze blanche aux larges rayures satinées.  C&#8217;était doux comme de la crème fouettée, aussi frais que la rosée du matin.</i>&#8221; (30)</font></b></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Un véritable délice des sens, surtout de la touche.  J&#8217;ai aimé la variété de textures des tissus.  Pour moi, c&#8217;était une description très sensuelle.</font></p>
<p><b><font color="#008080">&#8220;<i>D&#8217;autres lettres racontent dans leur simplicité les petits faits qui ponctuent la fuite du temps.  Ce sont des roses qu&#8217;on a cueillies au crépuscule, l&#8217;indolence d&#8217;un dimanche de pluie, un enfant qui pleure avant de s&#8217;endormir.  Capturés sur le vif, ces échantillons de vie, ces bouffées de bonheur m&#8217;émeuvent plus que tout</i>.&#8221; (89)</font></b></p>
<p><font color="#000000">Une fois de plus, c&#8217;est l&#8217;évocation des simples plaisirs et des activités quotidiennes qu&#8217;on a tendance à tenir pour acquis.  </font> Oui, c&#8217;est un cliché que des choses nous manquent quand on n&#8217;y a plus accès, mais Bauby réussit quand même à bien représenter ces tranches de vie.  &#8220;L&#8217;indolence d&#8217;un dimanche de pluie&#8221; m&#8217;a beaucoup frappée, peut-être parce que j&#8217;ai passé bien de dimanches de cette manière?</p>
<p><b><font color="#008080">&#8220;[. . .] <i>une volée d&#8217;enfants arrive en vélo du marché.  Des rires illuminent tous les visages.  Certains de ces enfants ont atteint depuis longtemps l&#8217;âge des grands soucis, mais sur ces chemins bordés de rhododendrons chacun peut retrouver son innocence perdue.</i>&#8221; (107) </font></b></p>
<p><font color="#000000">L&#8217;insouciance de la jeunesse est mise en valeur par rapport au fardeau des responsabilités de l&#8217;âge adulte.  J&#8217;ai trouvé beaucoup d&#8217;espoir et d&#8217;optimisme dans cette description.</font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>I want to make a little plug for Jon Krakauer. I recently read &#8220;Into the Wild&#8221; as well as &#8220;Into Thin Air&#8221; and they were both fantastic! &#8220;Into Thin Air&#8221; is my favourite of the two, but he writes both works with such precision and clarity that you are literally drawn into the piece. &#8220;Into Thin Air&#8221; is Jon Krakauer&#8217;s personal account of an excursion up Everest gone wrong with terrible consequences. The story makes one realize how little control we have over the elements and how important it is to be prepared for every contingency when outdoors.<img src="///C:/DOCUME%7E1/MAUREE%7E1.DUT/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg" /></p>

&#8230; the new book recommended by MVR &#8230;  looks rather intriguing:</p>
<p><i>.. the remarkable tale of <a href="http://www.bookbrowse.com/biographies/index.cfm?author_number=71" target="_blank">Jean-Dominique Bauby</a> (Mathieu Amalric), the world-renowned editor of French ELLE magazine, who suffered a stroke and was paralyzed by the inexplicable &#8220;locked in&#8221; syndrome at the age of 43. <a href="http://www.bookbrowse.com/biographies/index.cfm?author_number=71" target="_blank">Bauby</a>’s only way of communicating with the outside world was by blinking with one eye, and after several dedicated helpers&#8211;a string of impossibly beautiful women (Emmanuelle Seigner, Marie-Josee Croze, Olatz Lopez Garamendia, Anne Consigny)&#8211;helped him to speak through this seemingly irrelevant gesture, he began to produce the words that would form his memoir.&#8221; (<a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/diving_bell_and_the_butterfly/#synopsis" target="_blank">Rotten Tomatoes</a>)</i></p>
<p>I found a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diving_Bell_and_the_Butterfly" target="_blank">wikipedia page</a> and the <a href="http://www.thedivingbellandthebutterfly-themovie.com/" target="_blank">movie site</a> too.  There have also been many blog entries <a href="http://thehappypill.wordpress.com/2007/10/10/successis-just-a-little-past-splat/" target="_blank">in English </a>and i<a href="http://blog.choc.fr/index.php/2007/05/22/556-a-cannes-aujourd-hui-le-scaphandre-et-le-papillon" target="_blank">n French</a> about the book and in French and the man himself.</p>
