El hombre que confundió a su mujer con un sombrero
by Oliver Sacks
" ... narra veinte historiales médicos de pacientes perdidos en el mundo extraño y aparentemente irremediable de las enfermedades neurológicas. Se trata de casos de individuos, aquejados por inauditas aberraciones de la percepción, y que, sin embargo, poseen insólitos dones artísticos o científicos. El doctor Sacks relata estos casos con pasión humana y gran talento literario. Son estudios que nos permiten acceder al universo de los enfermos nerviosos y comprender su situación. Como gran médico, Sacks nunca pierde de vista el cometido final de la medicina: "el sujeto humano que sufre y lucha"."--Contratapa.

Oliver Sacks, M.D. was a physician, a best-selling author, and a professor of neurology at the NYU School of Medicine. The New York Times has referred to him as “the poet laureate of medicine.” He is best known for his collections of neurological case histories, including The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat, Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain and An Anthropologist on Mars. Awakenings, his book about a group of patients who had survived the great encephalitis lethargica epidemic of the early twentieth century, inspired the 1990 Academy Award-nominated feature film starring Robert De Niro and Robin Williams. Dr. Sacks was a frequent contributor to the New Yorker and the New York Review of Books. ([source][1]) [1]: https://www.oliversacks.com/about-oliver-sacks/
