Knihy autora Oliver Sacks


Oliver Sacks (1933–2015) bol britský neurológ, profesor a spisovateľ, ktorý sa preslávil fascinujúcimi príbehmi zo svojej lekárskej praxe. Narodil sa v Londýne v rodine lekárov a medicínu vyštudoval v Oxforde. Celý profesionálny život zasvätil neurológii, no jeho jedinečný dar spočíval v schopnosti rozprávať o mozgu a ľudskej mysli spôsobom prístupným širokej verejnosti. Jeho kniha Muž, ktorý si mýlil manželku s klobúkom sa stala svetovým bestsellerom a bola preložená do desiatkov jazykov. Ďalšie jeho dielo Antropologička na Marse, rovnako fascinujúco skúmajú hranice ľudskej percepcie a identity. Sacksove knižné príbehy o pacientoch s neurologickými poruchami sú zároveň hlbokými úvahami o tom, čo nás robí ľuďmi. Jeho knihy inšpirovali filmy a divadelné hry. Sacks zomrel na rakovinu vo veku 82 rokov, no jeho literárne dedičstvo naďalej vzdeláva a inšpiruje.
