From the distinguished neurologist and the bestselling author of The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a HatOne of the most beautifully composed and moving works of our time.\" -The Washington PostAwakenings-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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67883220435232,"sku":"USED0375704051","price":13.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71gdx_lY4tL_eb83e4ad-464f-4236-9550-18e9c7534195.jpg?v=1792504404","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/en-ca\/products\/awakenings-0375704051-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
