Flowers for Algernon is the beloved, classic
story of a mentally disabled man whose
experimental quest for intelligence mirrors that
of Algernon, an extraordinary lab mouse. In
poignant diary entries, Charlie tells how a
brain operation increases his IQ and changes his
life. As the experimental procedure takes
effect, Charlie's intelligence expands until it
surpasses that of the doctors who engineered his
metamorphosis. The experiment seems to be a
scientific breakthrough of paramount
importance--until Algernon begins his sudden,
unexpected deterioration. Will the same happen
to Charlie? An American classic that inspired
the award-winning movie Charly.
