Algernon è un topo, ma non è un topo qualunque. Con un'audace operazione, uno scienziato ha triplicato il suo IQ, rendendolo forse più intelligente di alcuni esseri umani. Di certo più di Charlie Gordon che, fino all'età di trentadue anni, ha vissuto nella dolorosa consapevolezza di non essere molto... sveglio. Ma cosa succede quando quella stessa operazione viene effettuata su Charlie? Il diario di un uomo che "voleva soltanto essere come gli altri", un romanzo definito dal New York Times "magistrale e profondamente toccante..." e vincitore del Premio Nebula 1966.

Work Description

Until he was thirty-two, Charlie Gordon --gentle, amiable, oddly engaging-- had lived in a kind of mental twilight. He knew knowledge was important and had learned to read and write after a fashion, but he also knew he wasn't nearly as bright as most of the people around him. There was even a white mouse named Algernon who outpaced Charlie in some ways. But a remarkable operation had been performed on Algernon, and now he was a genius among mice. Suppose Charlie underwent a similar operation...
