The author of this book, a neuropsychologist and writer, is well known in the USA. “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat” (1985) became a bestseller there and went through five editions. Oliver Sacks comes to the Russian reader for the first time.
This is a deep and wise book in which everyone will find something of their own. Here are descriptions of complex and rare cases from the practice of Dr. Sachs, and dramatic vicissitudes of a person’s struggle with illness, and philosophical attempts to comprehend the human soul. What is the nature of the disease? What is she doing mentally? Does it always take away - or sometimes does it bring in something new and even positive?
The amazing stories of Oliver Sacks paradoxically contribute to mental health.
