Do týchto siedmich paradoxných príbehov neurologických porúch a kreativity Oliver Sacks vložil nesmiernu empatiu a ľudskosť, vďaka ktorým sú jeho klinické poviedky oceňované na celom svete. Autor úspešnej knihy MUŽ, KTORÝ SI MÝLIL MANŽELKU S KLOBÚKOM čitateľovi otvára zvláštne svety svojich pacientov – umelca, ktorý stratil schopnosť rozoznávať a vidieť farby, chirurga, ktorý dokáže operovať napriek rôznych tikom a začínajúcemu Tourettovmu syndrómu a autistickej profesorky, ktorá má doktorát z prírodných vied, ale je taká fascinovaná komplikovaným svetom ľudských emócií, že sa cíti ako „antropologička na Marse“. Prostredníctvom príbehov týchto výnimočných ľudí, doktor Sacks skúma, ako cítime, vnímame a spomíname a pátra po tom, čo z toho z nás robí vzácne ľudské bytosti.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is a globally recognized figure, yet few know her personal story. In her candid memoir, she reflects on her upbringing in 1950s suburban America and her evolution from a Goldwater Girl to a student activist and controversial First Lady. This narrative chronicles her life in the White House and her enduring partnership with Bill Clinton, navigating love and politics amid personal betrayal and public scrutiny. Growing up during a period of significant social change, she embraced opportunities that were not available to previous generations of women. As she forged her own path, she became a symbol for some and a target for others. Balancing roles as a wife, mother, lawyer, advocate, and international icon, she witnessed pivotal moments in American political history, from Watergate to Whitewater. Notably, she was the only First Lady to significantly influence domestic legislation, advocating for health care, economic opportunity, and children's needs, while also championing women's rights and democracy globally. Her efforts redefined the role of First Lady and played a crucial part in protecting the presidency from impeachment. Intimate and inspiring, this memoir captures the essence of a remarkable woman and her journey to find her voice in American politics.
