*A New York Times bestseller*'Using her expertise as a
neuroscientist and her gifts as a storyteller, Lisa Genova explains
the nuances of human memory' - Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor
of Psychology, Harvard University, and bestselling author of How
The Mind Works'No one writes more brilliantly about the connections
between the brain, the mind, and the heart. Remember is a
beautiful, fascinating, and important book about the mysteries of
human memory - what it is, how it works, and what happens when it
is stolen from us. A scientific and literary treat that you will
not soon forget.' - Daniel Gilbert (New York Times bestselling
author of Stumbling on Happiness)Have you ever felt a crushing wave
of panic when you can't for the life of you remember the name of
that actor in the movie you saw last week, or you walk into a room
only to forget why you went there in the first place? If you're
over forty, you're probably not laughing.You might even be worried
that these lapses in memory could be an early sign of Alzheimer's
or dementia. In reality, for the vast majority of us, these
examples of forgetting are completely normal. Why? Because while
memory is amazing, it is far from perfect.Our brains aren't
designed to remember every name we hear, plan we make or day we
experience. Just because your memory sometimes fails doesn't mean
it's broken or succumbing to disease. Forgetting is actually part
of being human.In Remember, neuroscientist and acclaimed novelist
Lisa Genova delves into how memories are made and how we retrieve
them. In explaining whether forgotten memories are temporarily
inaccessible or erased forever and why some memories are built to
exist for only a few seconds while others can last a lifetime,
we're shown the clear distinction between normal forgetting (where
you parked your car) and forgetting due to Alzheimer's (that you
own a car). Remember shows us how to create a better relationship
with our memory - so we no longer have to fear it any more, which
can be life-changing.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
