"Flowers for Algernon" by Daniel Keyes is required reading in American schools. This is the only science fiction story whose author was awarded twice, first for a short story and then for a novel with the same title, hero, and plot.
Thirty-three-year-old Charlie Gordon is mentally retarded. At the same time, he has a job, friends, and an irresistible desire to learn. He agrees to take part in a dangerous scientific experiment in the hope of becoming smart...
This fantastic story has amazing psychological power and makes you think about universal human questions of morality: do we have the right to experiment on each other, what results can this lead to, and what price are we willing to pay to become "the smartest". And lonely?
Daniel Keyes gives his own unambiguous answer to the questions that were raised by M. Bulgakov in "Heart of a Dog" and J. London in "Martin Eden".
