The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat
Sacks, Oliver
'A masterpiece' - The New York Times<BR><BR>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. <BR><BR>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 unusually acute artistic or mathematical talents.<BR><BR>If sometimes beyond our surface comprehension, these brilliant tales illuminate what it means to be human.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.

Seeing Voices
Seeing Voices
Sacks, Oliver
'Seeing Voices is both a history of the deaf and an account of the development of an extraordinary and expressive language' - Evening Standard<BR><BR> Imaginative and insightful, Seeing Voices by Oliver Sacks offers a way into a world that is, for many people, alien and unfamiliar - for to be profoundly deaf is not just to live in a world of silence, but also to live in a world where the visual is paramount. In this remarkable book, Sacks explores the consequences of this, including the different ways in which the deaf and the hearing impaired learn to categorize their respective worlds - and how they convey and communicate those experiences to others.

L' isola dei senza colore-L'isola delle cicadine
L' isola dei senza colore-L'isola delle cicadine
Sacks, Oliver
Due viaggi in Micronesia dischiudono a Sacks una prospettiva sconfinata di orrori, meraviglie e misteri: la cecità cromatica completa ed ereditaria che si manifesta a Pingelap e Pohnpei, in una terra che è un tripudio di colori; il devastante e inspiegato "lytico-bodig" che colpisce con una paralisi progressiva solo certi abitanti dell'isola di Guam e solo quelli nati in determinati anni. Sacks racconta questi suoi viaggi passo per passo, o meglio salto per salto dei minuscoli aerei che lo trasportano come cavallette da un'isola all'altra. Un racconto che, con partecipazione profonda e magistrale arte narrativa, mette di fronte il lettore all'indecifrato rapporto fra la mente e la natura che ci circonda e di cui siamo fatti.
