Summary

El hombre que confundió a su mujer con un sombrero se convirtió inmediatamente en un clásico y consagró a Oliver Sacks como "uno de los grandes escritores clínicos del siglo" (The New York Times).

En este audiolibro, 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 que han perdido la memoria, y con ella, la mayor parte de su pasado; que son incapaces de reconocer a sus familiares o los objetos cotidianos; que han sido descartados como retrasados mentales y que, sin embargo, poseen insólitos dones artísticos o científicos.

Por extraños que parezcan estos casos, el doctor Sacks los relata con pasión humana y gran talento literario. Son estudios que nos permiten acceder al universo de los enfermos nerviosos y comprender su situación frente a las adversidades. Como gran médico, Oliver Sacks nunca pierde de vista el cometido final de la medicina: "el sujeto humano que sufre y lucha".
