A classic work of psychology, this international bestseller provides a groundbreaking insight into the human mind. With an introduction by Will Self.
If a man has lost a leg or an eye, he knows he has lost a leg or an eye; but if he has lost a self – himself – he cannot know it, because he is no longer there to know it.
In this extraordinary book, Dr. Oliver Sacks recounts the stories of patients struggling to adapt to often bizarre worlds of neurological disorder. Here are people who can no longer recognize everyday objects or those they love; who are stricken with violent tics or shout involuntary obscenities, and yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents. If inconceivably strange, these brilliant tales illuminate what it means to be human.
A provocative exploration of the mysteries of the human mind, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat is a million-copy bestseller by the twentieth century's greatest neurologist.

Otroligt intressant! Måste-läsning för alla som är intresserade av hjärnan och dess sjukdomstillstånd.

In Oliver Sacks, we find the kindness, intelligence, humanity and compassion one could wish all doctors, or indeed all people, would possess. He opens one’s eyes to the wonders of the world - both the tragic and the wonderful. In describing what it is to lose something, to have an affliction, Oliver Sacks at the same time shows what it means to be human, and the compassion we can hold for each other. Splendid book, and a good narrator!
