书籍简介

“奥利弗-萨克斯（Oliver Sacks）是麻醉剂的解毒剂，他的写作让人的大脑和思想变得透明。”——《观察家》

当职业为医生的奥利弗-萨克斯（Oliver Sacks）在爬山时弄伤了自己的腿时，他发现自己处于一个不同寻常的位置--病人的位置。伤势本身很严重，但很容易治愈；然而心理上的影响却很难预测、解释或解决： 萨克斯（Sacks）经历了瘫痪，他无法将自己的腿视为自己的腿，而是将其视为某种外来的、无生命的物体，自己无法控制它。

一条可以站立的腿，既是对萨克斯经历的磨难和后来康复的描述，也是对心灵和身体之间密不可分的联系的探索。

'Oliver Sacks is a perfect antidote to the anaesthetic of familiarity. His writing turns brains and minds transparent' - ObserverWhen Oliver Sacks, a physician by profession, injured his leg while climbing a mountain, he found himself in an unusual position - that of patient. The injury itself was severe, but straightforward to fix; the psychological effects, however, were far less easy to predict, explain, or resolve: Sacks experienced paralysis and an inability to perceive his leg as his own, instead seeing it as some kind of alien and inanimate object, over which he had no control.

A Leg to Stand On is both an account of Sacks' ordeal and subsequent recovery, and an exploration of the ways in which mind and body are inextricably linked.

作者简介

奥利弗-萨克斯1933年出生于伦敦，曾就读于牛津大学皇后学院。他在旧金山锡安山医院和加州大学洛杉矶分校完成了医学培训，之后搬到纽约，在那里他很快遇到了他在《觉醒》一书中提到的病人。

萨克斯医生作为一名神经科医生工作了近50年，写了许多书，包括《把妻子误认为帽子的人》（The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat）、《嗜乐症》（Musicophilia）和《幻觉》（Hallucinations），讲述了他的病人的奇特神经困境和病症。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、美国国家科学基金会、美国艺术与文学学会和英国皇家内科医学院授予的荣誉。2008年，他被任命为大英帝国司令。他的回忆录《On the Move》于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.
