In Seeing Voices, Oliver Sacks turns his attention to the subject of deafness, and the result is a deeply felt portrait of a minority struggling for recognition and respect-a minority with its own rich culture and unique visual language, an extraordinary mode of communication. / Con su pasion y curiosidad habituales, Oliver Sacks se interna en el insondable silencio de los sordos profundos, de aquellos que han nacido sin uno de los sentidos básicos para el conocimiento, para la articulacion del lenguaje y, por ende, del pensamiento. Pero este viaje al país del silencio, como todos los que emprende Sacks, será una jornada llena de descubrimientos. Y el lector conocerá así la historia de los sordos, los estragos que han causado los «oralistas», los defensores del lenguaje oral frente al de senas, y sabrá de la existencia de una comunidad que existio durante más de dos siglos en Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, y en la que había una forma de sordera hereditaria y todos aprendían a hablar por senas.
