Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

Everyone who cherishes the gift of language will cherish Diane Ackerman's narrative masterpiece, an exquisitely written love story and medical miracle story, one that combines science, inspiration, wisdom and heart. One day Ackerman's husband, Paul West, an exceptionally gifted wordsmith and intellectual, suffered a terrible stroke. When he regained awareness he was afflicted with aphasia - loss of language - and could utter only a single syllable: "mem." The standard therapies yielded little result but frustration. Ackerman soon found, however, that by harnessing their deep knowledge of each other and her scientific understanding of language and the brain she could guide West back to the world of words. This triumphant book is both a humane and revealing addition to the medical literature on stroke and aphasia and an exquisitely written love story.

Revue de presse :

"Their story is an extraordinary love story, and that a devastating stroke intervened has made it only more moving." International Herald Tribune "...inspiring, affecting book..." The Times "Renewed my faith in the redemptive power of love." The New York Times Book Review "A companionable, heartfelt, informative book, this is much more than a memoir." Scottish Sunday Herald "This book is a mature love story, a meditation on vulnerability and resilience, a celebration of the gift of language and a valuable addition to the medical understanding of stroke." Human Givens Journal "An inspiring story of the triumph of love and creativity." Woman Alive "If ever a medical memoir wrested beauty from the bleak, One Hundred Names for Love, by Diane Ackerman, is it." --Jewish Chronicle

Evaluation du vendeur :

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. It is a truism that lovers have their own language. And the love storyextending over more than forty yearsof acclaimed writers Diane Ackerman and Paul West is equally a story of the love of language and its mysteries. In this heart-warming, uplifting memoir, Ackerman explores the brains ability to find and connect wordsand of the latest science behind what happens when it fails to do so. Exposing both the terror of losing language and the giddy exhilaration of its recovery, Ackerman opens a window into the experience of wordlessness and testifies to the joyous necessity of wordplay for the health of both mind and spirit. Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award "A testament to the power of creativity in language, lifeand love." Heller McAlpin, Washington Post Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9780393341744
