Oliver Sacks, M.D. was a physician, bestselling author, and professor of neurology at the NYU School of Medicine. The New York Times has referred to him as 'the poet laureate of medicine'. He is best known for his collections of neurological case histories, including The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat, Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain and An Anthropologist on Mars. Awakenings, his book about a group of patients who had survived the great encephalitis lethargica epidemic of the early twentieth century, inspired the 1990 Academy Award-nominated feature film starring Robert De Niro and Robin Williams. Dr Sacks was a frequent contributor to the New Yorker and the New York Review of Books, before his death in August 2015. British narrator John Lee has read audiobooks in almost every conceivable genre, from Charles Dickens to Patrick O'Brian, and from the very real life of Napoleon to the entirely imagined lives of sorcerers and swashbucklers. He has won numerous Audie Awards and AudioFile Earphones Awards, and he was named a Golden Voice by AudioFile in 2009. Lee is also an accomplished stage actor and wrote and coproduced the feature films Breathing Hard and Forfeit.
'Fascinating. Music, as Sacks explains, can pierce the heart directly . And this is the truth that he so brilliantly focuses upon - that music saves, consoles and nourishes us.' -- The Daily Mail 'An elegantly outlined series of case studies ... which reveal the depth to which music grips so many people.' -- The Observer
