In this classic story that inspired the hit movie Charlie, Charlie Gordon, a retarded adult who cleans floors and toilets, becomes a genius through an experimental operation. Flowers For Algernon made its first appearance as a short story which was rapidly and widely anthologized, and translated internationally. It received further acclaim as a moderated television drama, and as a motion picture production. Now, full bodied and richly-peopled, Flowers For Algernon is the daring novel of a startling human experiment! |

When the eight-year period of black and white freedom and cooperation in the South was destroyed, it was destroyed completely. Not only were material things wiped out and people slain, but the very memory was expunged. Powerful forces did not hold it to be a good thing for the American people to know that once there had been such an experiment and that the experiment had worked. All the essentials of this story are true; white men and black men lived together, worked together, and built together. In many places, they died together, in defense of what they had built. |
