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 story, and then for a novel with the same title, character, 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 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”. What about lonely?
To the questions raised by M. Bulgakov in "The Heart of a Dog" and J. London in "Martin Eden", Daniel Keyes gives his unequivocal answer.
