Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat
Описание и характеристики
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; who have been dismissed as autistic or retarded, yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents. If inconceivably strange, these brilliant tales illuminate what it means to be human.

Думаю, будет интересна как специалистам, так и обычным читателям. Однако язык книги непрост, он изобилует медицинскими терминами и сложными эпитетами, поэтому читателям с не очень высоким уровнем английского может быть сложновато.
