Always wise and compellingly readable, these stories alter our conception of who we are and how we function, and show us an essential part of what it is to be human. Oliver Sacks is a physician and the author of many books, includingThe Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat ,Awakenings (which inspired the Oscar-nominated film) andMusicophilia.

About this product

Product Information

Arousing, inspiring, comforting - music is capable of stimulating both passion and compassion, speaking to our very core and taking us to the heights or depths of emotion. In Musicophilia, Oliver Sacks explores this phenomenon through various case studies, including a surgeon who is struck by lightning and subsequently becomes obsessed with Chopin. Describing how music can animate people with Parkinson's Disease, can give words to stroke patients, or calm those disorientated by Alzheimer's or schizophrenia, Sacks uses the example of music, and stories of individual experience, to illuminate the universal human condition.
