Flowers for Algernon

Español
Flores para Algernon es una novela de ciencia ficción social que nos narra la historia de nuestro protagonista Charlie, un hombre con un trastorno intelectual que se somete a un novedoso y experimental tratamiento que promete aumentar su IQ. Pero esta historia va mas haya de eso ya que mediante recuerdos y sueños registrados en su diario (reportes de progreso) uno llega a conocer a Charlie de manera profunda y entender sus motivaciones y metas. No tengo mucho mas que decir de este libro ya que como pueden ver por la calificación me encanto, sentí la historia muy íntima, humana y desgarradora al punto donde comienzas a sentir a Charlie como una persona real.

Flowers for Algernon is a social science fiction novel that tells the story of our protagonist Charlie, a man with an intellectual disability who undergoes an innovative and even experimental treatment that promises to increase his IQ. But this story is more than that since through memories and dreams recorded in his diary (progress reports) one gets to know Charlie in a deep way and understand his motivations and goals. I don't have much more to say about this book because as you can see from the rating, I loved it, I felt the story very intimate, human and heartbreaking to the point where you start to feel Charlie as a real person.
