ISBN: 9780375704055 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Awakenings--which inspired the major motion picture--is the remarkable story of a group of patients who contracted sleeping-sickness during the great epidemic just after World War I.

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.
