Antropoložka na Marsu - Sedm paradoxních příběhů – Sacks Oliver (2025)

A collection of seven narrative-essay stories about neurological patients by Oliver Sacks, a renowned neurologist and master storyteller, takes readers on another exploratory journey into the fascinating world of the human mind. Anthropologist on Mars contains seven stories of people coping with neurological disorders (brain damage, autism, or Tourette's syndrome) and reveals how their experiences touch the depths of existence. With extraordinary empathy, understanding, and sensitivity, Sacks examines how these conditions shape identity and individual life, behavior, and perception of reality. Each story is not only a scientific analysis but also a human tale that compels readers to reflect on humanity. Sacks's ability to connect neurology with art and philosophy makes the book an unforgettable experience. At a time when mental health and understanding differences are being discussed, Sacks's work is a valuable source of knowledge and inspiration, as it helps to understand the complexity of the human psyche and calls for tolerance and empathy. The book loosely follows the book The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat.
