AWAKENINGS - OLIVER SACKS TASCHENBUCH

Awakenings --which inspired the major motion picture--is the remarkable story of a group of
patients who contracted sleeping-sickness during the great epidemic just after World War I.
Frozen for decades in a trance-like state  these men and women were given up as hopeless until
1969  when Dr. Oliver Sacks gave them the then-new drug L-DOPA  which had an astonishing 
explosive  "awakening" effect. Dr. Sacks recounts the moving case histories of his patients 
their lives  and the extraordinary transformations which went with their reintroduction to a
changed world.
