About this product

Product Information

Oliver Sacks has become the world's best-known neurologist. In this eagerly awaited new book, the subject of his uniquely literate scrutiny is music: our relationship with it, our facility for it, and what this most universal of passions says about us. Through the individual testimonies of people struck by illness, by unusual ability and even, in one case, by lightning, Sacks succeeds not only in articulating the musical experience but in locating it in the human brain. He shows that music is not simply about sound, but also movement, visualization, and silence. He follows the experiences of patients suddenly drawn to or suddenly divorced from music. And in so doing he shows, as only he can, our extraordinary powers of expression, the capacity of music to heal, and, ultimately, something of what it is to be human. 'Written in his signature style - filled with quirky charm and compassion' Sunday Times 'This book is filled with wonders' Daily Telegraph
