Synopsis "Despertares"

Este libro relata la extraordinaria historia de un grupo de veinte pacientes ingresados en el Hospital Monte Carmelo de Nueva York, supervivientes de la gran epidemia de encefalitis letargica que alcanzo dimensiones planetarias en los anos veinte del siglo pasado, y del asombroso y subito despertar que experimentaron cuarenta anos mas tarde gracias al doctor Oliver Sacks, que les administro l-dopa, un medicamento de reciente aparicion por aquel entonces en el mercado. Las anecdotas que cuenta de esa serie de pacientes son siempre conmovedoras, dan testimonio del valor con el que se enfrentaron a la enfermedad, y a veces tienen connotaciones tragicas. Despertares, considerado ya un clasico de la literatura medica, aparecio en 1973 y gano el Premio Hawthornden de ese ano. Desde entonces ha inspirado un documental televisivo, guiones radiofonicos, obras teatrales, y una notable pelicula. El autor ha escrito mucho material nuevo para esta edicion revisada, incluyendo un apartado acerca de Despertares en la escena y la pantalla. / This book tells the extraordinary story of the twenty patients in the Monte Carmelo Hospital in New York, survivors of an epidemic of encephalitis lethargica, and the astonishing awakenings they underwent forty years later thanks to Oliver Sacks, who gave them the drug L-Dopa, a new medicine at the time. Oliver Sacks anecdotes attest to the bravery with which these patients faced their illness. Awakenings, considered a classic of medical literature, appeared in 1973 and won the Hawthornden Prize that very year. Since then it has inspired a television documentary, theatre productions and a successful film.
