MUSICOPHILIA - OLIVER SACKS KARTONIERT (TB)

Revised and Expanded With the same trademark compassion and erudition he brought to The Man Who
Mistook His Wife for a Hat  Oliver Sacks explores the place music occupies in the brain and how
it affects the human condition. In Musicophilia  he shows us a variety of what he calls musical
misalignments. Among them: a man struck by lightning who suddenly desires to become a pianist
at the age of forty-two  an entire group of children with Williams syndrome  who are
hypermusical from birth  people with amusia  to whom a symphony sounds like the clattering of
pots and pans  and a man whose memory spans only seven seconds-for everything but music.
Illuminating  inspiring  and utterly unforgettable  Musicophilia is Oliver Sacks' latest
masterpiece.
