An Anthropologist on Mars

Oliver Sacks – a British neurologist and neuropsychologist, author of several popular books in which he tells the real stories of his patients. The film adaptation of his book "Awakenings" with Robert De Niro in the lead role was a great success. Sacks' works have been translated into twenty languages, but the greatest popularity was gained by the international bestsellers "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" and "An Anthropologist on Mars," written in the genre of 19th-century "clinical tales." In "An Anthropologist on Mars," incredible stories of Dr. Sacks' patients, who managed to assert their place in life despite a strict medical verdict that cannot be reconsidered, are collected. Seven amazing stories about the inexhaustible capabilities of the human brain, about resilience and love, which protects, saves, gives strength to live and overcome even the harshest blows of fate.
