Reviews
"One of the most beautifully composed and moving works of our time." -- The Washington Post "Compulsively readable. . . . Dr. Sacks writes beautifully and with exceptional subtlety and penetration into both the state of mind of his patients and the nature of illness generally. . . . A brilliant and humane book." --A. Alvarez, The Observer "[Sacks] opens to the reader doors of perception generally passed through only by those at the far borders of human experience." -- The Boston Globe "A masterpiece." --W. H. Auden

Synopsis
The classic account of survivors of the sleeping-sickness during the great epidemic just after World War I -- and their return to the world after decades of "sleep." - From the distinguished neurologist and the bestselling author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat "One of the most beautifully composed and moving works of our time." -- The Washington Post Awakenings-- which inspired the major motion picture starring Robert DeNiro and Robin Williams--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., The classic account of survivors of the sleeping-sickness during the great epidemic just after World War I -- and their return to the world after decades of "sleep." * From the distinguished neurologist and the bestselling author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat "One of the most beautifully composed and moving works of our time." -- The Washington Post Awakenings-- which inspired the major motion picture starring Robert DeNiro and Robin Williams--is the remarkable story of a group of patients who contracted sleeping-sickness during the great epidemic just after World War I.
