«Der Mann, der seine Frau mit einem Hut verwechselte» is Oliver Sacks's collection of clinical cases published by Rowohlt in German paperback.
Twenty-four clinical cases of patients with neurological disorders that alter their perception of reality: a musician who cannot recognize faces, a sailor anchored in his past, a blind patient who discovers the world with her hands. Sacks combines science and humanity in showing how the brain constructs identity.
Original title: «The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales» (1985). German translation by Dirk van Gunsteren. Edition of 319 pages.
Recommended for readers interested in neurology, psychology, and popular science, with a narrative approach close to literary storytelling.
Oliver Wolf Sacks was a British neurologist, naturalist, historian of science, and writer.
