A Life in Motion

Oliver Sacks, who describes the peculiarities of the brain and nervous system and the human ability to adapt to difficult situations in his books that made him famous worldwide, this time focuses on himself.

In On the Move, we get to know not only the neurologist Sacks, the author of case histories that we have read with amazement and pleasure for years, but also Sacks, the subject of a life lived to the fullest until the last moment: From his relationship with his family to his life divided between England and America, motorcycles, travel and weight lifting. From his passions to his lovers to the many extraordinary people he has met, from celebrities to celebrities, Sacks talks honestly and enthusiastically about every aspect of his life.

It is the story of a person who never knew what it was like to rest, on the roads where he loved to ride his motorcycle alone, in his medical career where he did not leave his patients indifferent until the end of his life, and of a life that was always on the move.

"A heartfelt book... Overflowing with life and compassion."
*New York Times-

"Awesome... Sacks examines himself as he examines others: compassionately, courageously, intelligently, acceptingly and honestly."
-Wall Street Journal-
