Awakenings – Oliver Sacks (Paperback, New Revised Edition)

The true, moving story of patients frozen for decades who were briefly brought back to life – now a classic, starring Robert De Niro & Robin Williams.

Oliver Sacks’ groundbreaking 1973 book (revised edition) tells the real-life story of patients with post-encephalitic parkinsonism who, after 40+ years in a near-statue-like state, were dramatically “awakened” by the drug L-DOPA in the late 1960s. A compassionate, beautifully written blend of neurology, humanity and tragedy. Iconic cover with lone figure on water. Clean, tight copy.

Who it is for:

Oliver Sacks fans, readers of medical humanities, neurology & psychology enthusiasts, people who loved the 1990 film Awakenings, book clubs wanting profound true stories.

What the benefit:

Experience one of the most humane and thought-provoking works in medical literature – deeply moving, scientifically fascinating and emotionally unforgettable.
