"The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" is populated by a cast as strange as that of the most fantastic fiction. The subject of this strange and wonderful book is what happens when things go wrong with parts of the brain most of us don't know exist ...Dr Sacks shows the awesome powers of our mind and just how delicately balanced they have to be' - "Sunday Times". 'Who is this book for? Who is it not for? It is for everybody who has felt from time to time that certain twinge of self-identity and sensed how easily, at any moment, one might lose it' - "The Times". 'This is, in the best sense, a serious book. It is, indeed, a wonderful book, by which I mean not only that it is excellent (which it is) but also that it is full of wonder, wonders and wondering. He brings to these often unhappy people understanding, sympathy and respect. Sacks is always learning from his patients, marvelling at them, widening his own understanding and ours' - "Punch".

评分在我还很小很小的时候,家附近的桥洞里住着一个疯子。胆大的坏孩子会冲着他嬉笑叫嚷,而我这样胆小且听父母话的小孩则每天默不作声的走过,目不斜视,只怕多看一眼就会招致他发疯。他究竟是不是疯子,其实我并不确知,只不过人们都这么说罢了。印象中只见过他一次狂舞四肢大喊...
