Description
This book is truly unique, written by the New York Hospital Neurologist and writer of British origin, who is world-renowned for his numerous books that study the states and behavior of individuals who suffer from a disorder or dysfunction in their brains. Patients are the center of my work and my life, he says in this book, defining his professional and humanitarian work environment, which imposes on him daily and permanent coexistence with the disease in which it raises fundamental questions by its nature, and with his patients who constantly drag him to the question that in turn constantly draws him to them. So the reader will find in the following stories and studies a continuous movement from this direction to that. Strange stories from another reality that is strange to our ordinary reality, and characters who live each in their own unique, private, and real world because it stems from the fact that a mind is unique. The author tells strange tales of people who, we might say, are traveling to unimaginable lands—countries of which we would, otherwise, have no idea or conception. Like a lost sailor who lost his sense of time, a prisoner lives a certain moment that is always repeated, like a mentally retarded twin who has the super ability to do arithmetic operations at an incredible speed, and like the old lady who monitors the movements of pedestrians on the road and amplifies them to become frightening and terrifying, and like the man who thinks himself a dog and many more
