Viac o knihe

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. 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.

Absolútne nechápem, ako môže mať táto kniha 3,8 hviezdičiek. Haló? Úplná pecka narvaná skutočnými príbehmi, ktoré znejú šialenejšie ako sci-fi romány. Sonda do neurologickej praxe z prvej ruky. Človek sa od toho nevie odlepiť.
