About the book

A masterpiece of science fiction that examines intelligence, humanity, and the fragility of the mind through Charlie Gordon, a man with an intellectual disability who becomes a genius through experimental surgery—and then loses it all. Narrated in the first person through progressive reports, the book offers unique perspectives on dignity, relationships, and the price of knowledge.

Emotional, profound, and disturbing, Flowers for Algernon questions what really matters: intellectual ability or the capacity to love and be loved. A transformative read that remains relevant decades after its publication.
