The story is told through a series of journal entries written by the story's protagonist, Charlie Gordon, a man with an IQ of 68 who works a menial job. He is selected to undergo an experimental surgical technique to increase his intelligence. The technique has already been successfully tested on Algernon, a laboratory mouse. The surgery on Charlie is also a success and his IQ triples.
Charlie falls in love with his former teacher, Miss Kinnian, but as his intelligence increases, he surpasses her intellectually and they become unable to relate to each other. Also, his new intelligence scares his co-workers at his job; they start a petition to have him fired and, when Charlie finds out about it, he quits. As Charlie's intelligence peaks, Algernon suddenly declines — losing his increased intelligence and dying shortly afterward. Charlie discovers that his intelligence increase is also only temporary. Unable to do anything to prevent the change, Charlie ultimately reverts to his original mental state in a swift reversal of his original growth. He tries to return to his original life and job but cannot stand everyone feeling sorry for him so he decides to move away. His last wish before he leaves is that someone put flowers on Algernon's grave.
Daniel Keyes (born August 9, 1927) is an American author best known for his Hugo award-winning short story and Nebula award-winning novel Flowers for Algernon. Keyes was given the Author Emeritus honor by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in 2000.
一直非常赞赏大鹏书中的一句话:无论技术发展多么迅速,人永远走在最前面。是呀,无论科技已经发展到如何高速快捷冰冷到不近人情,但是作为人类的情怀与思想永远是要走在前面的,我想所有科幻小说作家都是用自己的作品在阐述这个道理吧。 虽然一直看科幻小说不太多,但是却是喜...
评分很久都没有读过这样好的书了——看得累到半夜,实在看不动了,睡着,睡几小时起来,又继续读,终于算是断了一口气接上又读完了。 小说讲了智障儿查理的故事,他在三十二岁生日前一个月,查理接受了史特劳斯博士和尼玛教授的治疗,于是他的智商开始逐步恢复,逐渐从一个智障儿...
评分 评分首先要说明一下,这本书,是一本收录了《献给阿尔吉侬的花束》最初中篇版本的一本中短篇选集,而并非是《献给阿尔吉侬的花束》这一部作品。选集的篇目由美国科幻作家协会SFWA300位成员票选得出,颇具代表性和经典性。 博尔赫斯说,如果有天堂,天堂应该是图书馆的模样。倘若...

The psychological analysis got too complicated and just fell apart in the end.
评分电影Every Thing不科学,女主写书评居然无动于衷,而我就是因为在此电影中瞥了一眼这个熟悉却没看过的书名,就有了这大半夜哭得稀里哗啦。 So far the best story I've read this year.
评分A good example of that kind of science fiction which uses a persuasive hypothesis to explore emotional and moral issues

评分又是一篇触及到“本质”的故事,第一人称的书信体非常紧凑而耐人回味。突然想起有人曾和我说,我不想你因为我的外表而认识我,我想你真正了解我。令我不解的是,何尝只是外表,看过的书、电影、爱好、甚至性格,这些所谓的“内在”,又和外表有什么本质的不同?或许其受基因和家庭的影响不亚于那张脸。年轻美丽的身体和良好的教育、自如谈吐说难道不都是“皮囊”么?剥去后我们又到底还剩下什么?
