How does the brain perceive and interpret information from the eye? And what happens when the process is disrupted?
In The Mind's Eye , Oliver Sacks tells the stories of people who are able to navigate the world and communicate with others despite losing what many of us consider indispensable senses and abilities: the capacity to recognize faces, the sense of three-dimensional space, the ability to read, the sense of sight. For all of these people, the challenge is to adapt to a radically new way of being in the world - and The Mind's Eye is testament to the myriad ways that we, as humans, are capable of rising to this challenge.
Now part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the very best of modern literature.
'Oliver Sacks is a perfect antidote to the anaesthetic of familiarity. His writing turns brains and minds transparent' The Observer
Biography
Oliver Sacks, geboren 1933 in London, ist Neurologe und wurde in der Öffentlichkeit vor allem als Sachbuchautor bekannt. Seine Bücher wie "Der Mann, der seine Frau mit einem Hut verwechselte" oder "Der Tag, an dem mein Bein fortging" erreichten ein Millionenpublikum. Über seine bahnbrechende Forschung zur Schlafkrankheit, die er in dem Buch "Zeit des Erwachens" schildert, wurde der gleichnamige Hollywoodfilm gedreht. Sacks lebt in New York und schreibt regelmäßig für Zeitschriften wie Time Magazine und New Yorker.
