Andrew Solomon – Far from the Tree: Parents, Children, and the Search for Identity

Andrew Solomon’s startling proposition in Far From the Tree is that being exceptional is at the core of the human condition—that difference is what unites us. He writes about families coping with deafness, dwarfism, Down syndrome, autism, schizophrenia, or multiple severe disabilities; with children who are prodigies, who are conceived in rape, who become criminals, who are transgender. While each of these characteristics is potentially isolating, the experience of difference within families is universal, and Solomon documents triumphs of love over prejudice in every chapter.   źródło opisu: http://books.simonandschuster.biz/ źródło okładki: http://books.simonandschuster.biz/
