<p><b>Celebrating Fifty Years of Picador Books</b><br><br><i>If a man has lost a leg or an eye, he knows he has lost a leg or an eye; but if he has lost a self </i>–<i> himself </i>–<i> he cannot know it, because he is no longer there to know it. </i><br><br>In this extraordinary book, Dr. Oliver Sacks recounts the stories of patients struggling to adapt to often bizarre worlds of neurological disorder.

If sometimes beyond our surface comprehension, these brilliant tales illuminate what it means to be human.<br><br> A provocative exploration of the mysteries of the human mind, <i>The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat </i>is a million-copy bestseller by the twentieth century's greatest neurologist.<br><br><b>Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.</b></p>
