Book The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat - Oliver Sacks (Exclusive Classics)

Oliver Sacks is a famous British neurologist and neuropsychologist, the author of a number of popular books translated into twenty languages, two of which - “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat” and “An Anthropologist on Mars” - became international bestsellers. "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" - a book written by Oliver Sacks back in 1971 and which has since gone through about ten reprints in English alone, not to mention numerous translations - is the story of modern people trying to overcome serious and unusual mental disorders and those struggling to survive in conditions completely unimaginable for healthy people - and about the mystics of the past, obsessed with visions that modern science confidently diagnoses as a manifestation of severe neuroses. Sachs explains the strange, incomprehensible relationship between the brain and consciousness in an accessible, lively and interesting way.
