Synopsis of El hombre que confundió a su mujer con un sombrero

«El hombre que confundió a su mujer con un sombrero» is Oliver Sacks's neurology essay, published by Anagrama in paperback (328 pages).

The work brings together twenty case histories of patients with neurological disorders that alter perception and memory, preventing them from recognizing family members or everyday objects. Sacks recounts them with sensitivity and narrative talent, and shows that some, despite their limitations, develop notable artistic or scientific abilities.

It belongs to Anagrama's Compactos collection, number 482. Translated by José Manuel Álvarez Flórez.

For readers interested in neuroscience, psychology, medicine, and nonfiction narratives with a human focus.
