Il s'appelle Charlie Gordon, c'est un simple d'esprit, un minable, employé aux plus basses besognes dans une usine. Algernon, elle, est une souris de laboratoire et le traitement du Professeur Nemur et du Docteur Strauss vient de décupler son intelligence. Les deux savants tentent alors d'appliquer leur découverte à Charlie avec l'assistance de la jeune psychologue Alice Kinnian.
C'est bientôt l'extraordinaire éveil de l'intelligence de ce cerveau demeuré. Charlie découvre avec passion un monde dont il avait toujours été exclu, et l'amour qui ne tarde pas à naître entre Alice et lui achève de la métamorphoser.
Mais un jour, les facultés supérieures de la souris Algernon déclinent. Puis elle meurt. Pour Charlie commence alors le drame atroce d'un homme qui peu à peu se sent retourner à l'état de bête.

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...
