Memory's Ghost : The Strange Tale of Mr. M and the Nature of Memory

Descripción

8vo 253pp. from front flap: ".And for more than forty years now, [Henry] has been a prisoner of the immediate present. Each new moment has no connection to what happened a minute or an hour or a week or a year before. He is perpetually waking from a dream, suspended in uncertainty about what day it is and what lies ahead. For decades Henry's guardians at M.I.T.'s clinical research center have shielded him, restricting access to academic researchers. Now, in Memory's Ghost, Philip J. Hilts, one of a relatively small number of people who have spent extended time with Henry, tells Henry's remarkable story. But Henry's story is only part of Memory's Ghost. On a quest for understanding the mysterious power of memory, Hilts takes the reader on a fascinating trip down Lethe, the river of forgetfulness, in search of Mnemosyne, the goddess of mind and imagination." #02463. Book VG: mild shelf wear, mild toning/offset to endpapers, text unmarked, binding tight.
