<p><P>&quot;One of the most beautifully composed and moving works of our time.&quot;&#160;&#160;&#151;<i>The Washington Post</i><P>&quot;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.&quot;&#160;&#160;&#151;A. Alvarez, <i>The Observer</i><P><b>Awakenings</b>&#151;which inspired the major motion picture&#151;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, &quot;awakening&quot; 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.<P>&quot;[Sacks] opens to the reader doors of perception generally passed through only by those at the far borders of human experience.&quot;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#15
