Awakenings is a remarkable, true story about a group of patients who suffered from encephalitis lethargica (sleeping sickness) during an epidemic after World War I.
These individuals were frozen in a trance-like state for decades until 1969, when neurologist Dr. Oliver Sacks treated them with the then-new L-DOPA.
The book recounts the moving case histories of these patients, their extraordinary "awakening" effect from the , and their reintroduction to a significantly changed world.
