Condition: Gut. 101. - 125. Tausend. 319 (1) Seiten mit Abbildungen. 19 cm. Umschlaggestaltung: Peter Wippermann. Guter Zustand. Seiten papierbedingt leicht gebräunt. Ein Musikwissenschaftler tätschelt Hydranten, weil er sie für spielende Kinder hält. Eine 90jährige Frau bekommt plötzlich wieder Appetit auf junge Männer. Ein Student kann eine Zeitlang riechen wie ein Hund und vermißt es, als es vorbei ist: Eine winzige Hirnverletzung, ein kleiner Tumult in der cerebralen Chemie, und Menschen geraten in eine andere Welt, in die Gesunde nicht vordringen. Oliver Sacks' Bestseller erzählt von ihnen in 24 faszinierenden Fallgeschichten. «Oliver Sacks hat die medizinische Fallstudie zur literarischen Kunstform erhoben.» DER SPIEGEL. - Oliver Wolf Sacks CBE (* 9. Juli 1933 in London; 30. August 2015 in New York City) war ein britischer Neurologe und Schriftsteller. Er wurde bekannt insbesondere durch seine populärwissenschaftlichen Bücher, in denen er komplexe Krankheitsbilder anhand von Fallbeispielen in zwanglos-anekdotischem Stil allgemeinverständlich beschrieb. Die mit mehreren Oscar- und Golden-Globe-Nominierungen ausgezeichnete filmische Adaption seines ersten großen Werkes von zusammenhängenden Fallgeschichten Zeit des Erwachens (erschienen 1973, verfilmt 1990 mit Robin Williams und Robert De Niro) machte seine Werke auch international einem breiteren Publikum bekannt. Sein Ziel war es stets, neben der modernen Wissenschaft die betreffenden Menschen nicht aus dem Blick zu verlieren, hinter jeder Erkrankung das individuelle Schicksal zu erkennen und die eigene Normalität in Frage zu stellen. Ähnlich wie auch der russische Neuropsychologe Alexander R. Lurija griff er auf die medizinisch-literarische Tradition des 19. Jahrhunderts zurück, die bei der wissenschaftlichen Betrachtung den kranken Menschen in den Mittelpunkt stellte. Lurija nannte dies eine romantische" Wissenschaft. . Sein Bestseller Der Mann, der seine Frau mit einem Hut verwechselte berichtet, wie sich die unterschiedlichen Störungen und Erkrankungen auf den Alltag der Patienten und betroffenen Angehörigen auswirken. Die Titelgeschichte wurde 1987 Gegenstand der gleichnamigen Oper von Michael Nyman. Oliver Sacks erzählt in dem Buch zwanzig Geschichten von Menschen, die aus der Normalität" gefallen sind. Das Buch ist so geschrieben, dass es für jeden verständlich ist, auch wenn man sich noch nie mit Medizin, Neurologie oder Psychiatrie befasst hat. Es geht kaum um medizinische Seiten, mehr um die Welt, in der diese Menschen leben. Das Buch macht klar, wie Wahrnehmung allein vom Gehirn abhängt Realität spielt sich im Kopf ab. Für Normale" ist es beispielsweise unvorstellbar, dass ein Mann seine Frau mit einem Hut verwechseln kann. Zum Beispiel, dass der Patient zwar Dinge sieht, sie aber nicht beim Namen nennen kann, so beispielsweise eine Rose als rotes, gefaltetes Gebilde mit einem geraden grünen Anhängsel" identifiziert. Die teils lustigen, teils traurigen Geschichten zeigen gleichzeitig, wozu das menschliche Gehirn fähig ist, wie schnell man seine Realität" verlieren kann und was letztendlich die Persönlichkeit ausmacht. Sacks' Werke wurden bisher in 21 Sprachen übersetzt. 2002 wurde er mit dem Wingate Literary Prize ausgezeichnet. . Im Februar 2015 widmete er sich in einem Essay für The New York Times seiner Krebserkrankung und dem Umgang mit seinem bevorstehenden Tod. Neun Jahre zuvor war er bereits wegen eines malignen Melanoms am Auge behandelt worden, wodurch er die Sehfähigkeit auf diesem Auge einbüßte (woraufhin er The Mind's Eye, dt. Das innere Auge, verfasste). Angesichts der nun bei ihm diagnostizierten Leber-Metastasen sei sein Tod absehbar. Er wolle weitere literarische Werke fertigstellen.Das Okay" für die Veröffentlichung des Textes gab Sacks noch auf dem OP-Tisch, der Artikel wurde noch am Folgetag der lebensverlängernden Operation veröffentlicht. Seinem Lebenspartner zufolge bewegten ihn die überwältigenden und mitfühlenden Reaktionen auf Mein Leben'" tief und führten i.

Hardcover. Condition: new. A Contemporary Classics hardcover edition of Dr. Sacks's most extraordinary book, in which the "poet laureate of medicine (The New York Times) recounts fascinating case histories of patients with neurological disorders.An influential landmark in the tradition of writing about the body and the brain, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat tells the stories of individuals afflicted with perceptual and intellectual disorders: patients who have lost their memories and with them the greater part of their pasts; who are no longer able to recognize people and common objects; whose limbs seem alien to them; who lack some skills yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents.In Dr. Sackss splendid and sympathetic telling, his patients are deeply human and his tales are studies of struggles against incredible adversity. A great healer, Sacks never loses sight of medicines ultimate responsibility: the suffering, afflicted, fighting human subject.Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Contemporary Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.
