The Mind's Eye is about the possibility of recovery and the
inexorable decline of the ageing individual. From this collision of
incompatible truths, tragedy is made . . . making this Sacks's most
powerful book to date.
*Sunday Telegraph*
Packed with wisdom, humour, extraordinary human stories and
reflections on how we all perceive the world . . . He ends with a
brilliant discussion of blindness and the ways in which blind
people develop visual concepts. Heartily recommended’.
