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.","brand":"Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":62341348917635,"sku":"9780375704055","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780375704055.jpg?v=1786145175","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/awakenings-9780375704055","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
