The man who thought his wife was a hat: Author: Oliver Sacks Language: Arabic Publication date: 2009 Book format: Paperback Publisher: Dar Al-Arab for Science Publishers Number of pages: 300 Book classification: Social and Political Sciences Description: Strange stories from another strange reality different from our usual reality, and characters each living in their own unique and "real" world because it stems from the truth of a mind considered "malfunctioning" because its structure has become different from our usual mind structure. The author narrates strange stories about people "whom we can say are travelers to lands that cannot be imagined" — lands that, without a doubt, we cannot have any idea or conception of. Like the lost sailor who has lost his sense of time, living as a prisoner of a repeated moment, or the mentally retarded twin who has the extraordinary ability to perform calculations at an incredible speed, or the old woman who observes the movements of passersby on the street and exaggerates them to become frightening and terrifying, or the man who thinks he is a dog, or the musician unable to distinguish shapes, who thought the hat was his wife's head, and other characters whose stories the author narrates in the four sections of the book.
