Vintage Sacks (Vintage Readers Literature Series)


Vintage Readers are a perfect introduction to some of the great modern writers presented in attractive, accessible paperback editions.<br> <br> “It is Dr. Sacks’s gift that he has found a way to enlarge our experience and understanding of what the human is.” —<i>The Wall Street Journal<br> <br> </i>Dubbed “the poet laureate of medicine” by <i>The New York Times,</i> Oliver Sacks is a practicing neurologist and a mesmerizing storyteller. His empathetic accounts of his patients’s lives—and wrily observed narratives of his own—convey both the extreme borderlands of human experience and the miracles of ordinary seeing, speaking, hearing, thinking, and feeling. <p><b>Vintage Sacks</b> includes the introduction and case study “Rose R.” from <b>Awakenings</b> (the book that inspired the Oscar-nominated movie), as well as “A Deaf World” from <b>Seeing Voices</b>; “The Visions of Hildegard” from <b>Migraine</b>; excerpts from “Island Hopping” and “Pingelap” from <b>The Island of the Colorblind</b>; “A Surgeon’s Life” from <b>An Anthropologist on Mars</b>; and two chapters from Sacks’s acclaimed memoir <b>Uncle Tungsten</b>.</p> <p class="null1">From the Trade Paperback edition.</p>
