Charles Gordon es un disminuido mental que ha llegado a la treintena relativamente integrado en la sociedad. Trabaja, tiene amigos, es simpático y tiene la sensación de ser querido. Acude a clases de lectura con la Srta. Alice para discapacitados y un gran interés por aprender. Su vida dará un giro radical cuando su familia accede a la propuesta de Alice para que forme parte de un experimento científico llevado a cabo con anterioridad con un ratón, Algernon, y con el fin de ver las consecuencias de esa cirugía del cerebro en un humano. La intervención ha sido un éxito, pero Algernon empieza a manifestar cambios de conducta que inquietan a los científicos ¿Afectará de igual manera a Charlie?. Todo este proceso y sus consecuencias son contadas a través de los ‘informes de progreso’ escritos por Gordon y es un recorrido por la mente humana y por el corazón de los protagonistas.

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...
