Flowers for Algernon
Summary
Charlie Gordon knows that he isn't very bright. At 32, he mops floors in a bakery and earns just enough to get by. Three evenings a week, he studies at a center for mentally challenged adults. But all of this is about to change for Charlie. As part of a daring experiment, doctors are going to perform surgery on Charlie's brain. They hope the operation and special medication will increase his intelligence, just as it has for the laboratory mouse, Algernon. Meanwhile, each day Charlie keeps a diary of what is happening to him. This is his poignant record of the startling changes in his mind and his life. Flowers for Algernon was first published as a short story, but soon received wide acclaim as it appeared in anthologies, as a television special, and as an award-winning motion picture, Charly. In its final, expanded form, this haunting story won the Nebula Award for the Best Novel of the Year. Through Jeff Woodman's narration, it now becomes an unforgettable audio experience.

Des fleurs pour Algernon
Summary
Il est des métamorphoses qui ouvrent les portes de la félicité. Mais comment supporter, ensuite, de retrouver ses haillons ? Algernon est une souris de laboratoire dont le traitement du Pr. Nemur et du Dr. Strauss vient de décupler l'intelligence. Enhardis par cette réussite, les deux savants tentent alors, avec l'assistance de la psychologue Alice Kinnian, d'appliquer leur découverte à Charlie Gordon, un simple d'esprit. C'est bientôt l'extraordinaire éveil de l'intelligence pour le jeune homme. Il découvre un monde dont il avait toujours été exclu, et entame une incroyable métamorphose. Mais un jour les facultés supérieures d'Algernon déclinent... Grégory Gadebois incarne un Charlie bouleversant. Il a obtenu le prix du meilleur comédien 2013 au Palmarès du théâtre et le Molière "Seul en scène" en 2014 pour l'adaptation théâtrale de ce texte dans la mise en scène d'Anne Kessler. Ce livre audio correspond à la nouvelle d'origine "Flowers for Algernon", publiée en 1959.
