书籍简介

如果一个人失去了一条腿或一只眼睛，他知道自己失去了一条腿或一只眼睛；但如果他失去了一个自我--他自己--他就无法知道，因为他已经不在那里知道了。

在这本非同寻常的书中，奥利弗-萨克斯博士讲述了病人的故事，他们努力适应往往是离奇的神经系统紊乱的世界。这些人不再能认出日常物品或他们所爱的人；他们被剧烈的抽搐所困扰，或不由自主地大喊脏话，但却具有异常敏锐的艺术或数学天赋。如果有时超出我们的表面理解力，这些精彩的故事照亮了人类的意义。

《把妻子当帽子的男人》是二十世纪伟大的神经学家的一本百万册畅销书，对人类心灵的奥秘进行了富有挑战性的探索。

作为Picador系列的一部分，这是一个展示现代文学作品的新系列。

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.

In this extraordinary book, 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, and yet are gifted with unusually acute artistic or mathematical talents. If sometimes beyond our surface comprehension, these brilliant tales illuminate what it means to be human.

A provocative exploration of the mysteries of the human mind, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat is a million-copy bestseller by the twentieth century's greatest neurologist.

Part of the Picador Collection, a new series showcasing the best of modern literature.

作者简介

奥利弗-萨克斯于1933年出生于伦敦，在牛津大学皇后学院接受教育。他在旧金山的锡安山医院和加州大学洛杉矶分校完成了他的医学培训，然后搬到了纽约，在那里他很快就遇到了他在《觉醒》一书中写到的那些病人。

萨克斯医生花了近50年时间从事神经病学工作，并写了许多书，包括《把妻子当帽子的男人》、《嗜乐症》和《幻觉》，讲述他的病人的奇怪的神经病学困境和状况。纽约时报》称他为 "医学界的桂冠诗人"，多年来他获得了许多奖项，包括古根海姆基金会、国家科学基金会、美国艺术与文学学院和皇家医学院的荣誉。2008年，他被任命为大英帝国司令。他的回忆录《在路上》在他2015年8月去世前不久出版。

Oliver Sacks was born in 1933 in London and was educated at Queen's College, Oxford. He completed his medical training at San Francisco's Mount Zion Hospital and at UCLA before moving to New York, where he soon encountered the patients whom he would write about in his book Awakenings.

Dr Sacks spent almost fifty years working as a neurologist and wrote many books, including The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, Musicophilia, and Hallucinations, about the strange neurological predicaments and conditions of his patients. The New York Times referred to him as 'the poet laureate of medicine', and over the years he received many awards, including honours from the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Science Foundation, the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and the Royal College of Physicians. In 2008, he was appointed Commander of the British Empire. His memoir, On the Move, was published shortly before his death in August 2015.
