The book itself was planned to be a memoir of a paralyzed person, while the author Jean-Dominique Bauby was a healthy man. We are going to consider how the phenomena of imagination, memory, and family are disclosed in the novel by Bauby, who had to write the book blinking with his left eyelid – the only part of his face he could move. This novel is a memoir of his own life before the brain stroke happened to him and made him paralyzed. We are going to consider the novel “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” by a famous French journalist Jean-Dominique Bauby in 1997.

First of all, it presupposes great knowledge of literature, its trends, and numerous stylistic and creative devices. Analyzing a literary creation is a rather difficult matter due to a number of reasons.
