Un antropòleg a mart
Els pacients de malalties neuronals, fan "viatges" cap a indrets inimaginables. En aquesta obra Oliver Sacks ofereix el retrat de set d'aquests viatges, entre els quals, un artista que perd tot sentit del color en un accident de cotxe però que troba la força creativa en el blanc i negre; i un professor autista que s'ha construït una carrera a partir de la seva comprensió intuïtiva del comportament animal, un cirurgià consumit pels tics compulsius de la síndrome de Tourette excepte quan opera. El doctor Sacks s'ha tret la bata blanca i ha deixat l'hospital per anar a buscar els seus pacients en el seu entorn.

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/
