«L'home que va confondre la seva dona amb un barret» is the popular science work by neurologist Oliver Sacks, published by Proa in paperback.
Oliver Sacks presents real clinical cases from his neurology practice: patients with visual agnosia, Tourette syndrome, autism, Parkinson's disease, or schizophrenia. Through these stories he shows how brain alterations transform perception, memory, and identity, and how people with severe deficits develop unique ways of adapting to the world.
Translated by Margarida Trias; Catalan edition of 2001, 352 pages. The original in English, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, was published in 1985. Proa Butxaca collection.

Oliver Wolf Sacks was a British neurologist, naturalist, historian of science, and writer.
