As with his previous bestseller, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, in An Anthropologist on Mars Oliver Sacks uses case studies to illustrate the myriad ways in which neurological conditions can affect our sense of self, our experience of the world, and how we relate to those around us.

Writing with his trademark blend of scientific rigour and human compassion, he describes patients such as the colour-blind painter or the surgeon with compulsive tics that disappear in the operating theatre; patients for whom disorientation and alienation – but also adaptation – are inescapable facts of life.

'An inexhaustible tourist at the farther reaches of the mind, Sacks presents, in sparse, unsentimental prose, the stories of seven of his patients. The result is as rich, vivid and compelling as any collection of short fictional stories' – Independent on Sunday

Eleştirmen yorumları

Writing simply and beautifully, Sacks uses individual case histories to reveal the infinite complexities of the human mind.
Sacks' great gift is his capacity to place himself in the position of his subjects, to see the world the way they see it and to empathize with their condition with great compassion but without patronage or pity.

Case series punctuated by intimate, delicate philosophy by the genius of Dr Sacks. Well narrated but Mr Davis' native US American and fake Italian accents definitely break the enchantment.

The genius of Oliver Sacks

Sacks takes an idiographic and holistic approach to these case studies, and provides the listener with a rich, qualitative analysis of the patient's lives, focusing on how they've adapted in light of their condition, and use it to better themselves.

A wonderfully positive spin on Psychopathology
