Oliver Sachs is a renowned British neurologist and neuropsychologist, author of a number of popular books translated into twenty languages, two of which — «The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat» and «Anthropologist on Mars» — became international bestsellers. “The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat” — a book written by Oliver Sachs back in 1971 and has withstood about ten reprints in English only, not to mention numerous translations — these are the stories of modern people trying to overcome serious and unusual mental disorders and struggling to survive in conditions completely unimaginable for healthy people — and about mystics of the past, obsessed with visions, which modern science confidently diagnoses as a manifestation of severe neuroses. Sachs explains the strange, incomprehensible relationship between the brain and consciousness in an accessible, lively and interesting way.
