Flowers for Alegrnon, by Daniel Keyes
“Flowers for Algernon tells the story of a man with mental difficulties who, through experimentation, seeks to acquire the same intelligence quotient as Algernon, a gifted lab rat.
The experience seems to represent a huge scientific advance, until Algernon goes into a sudden and profound deterioration. Could the same thing happen to Charlie?” (in wook.pt)
Sapiens, by Yuval Noah Harari
“Using ideas from paleontology, anthropology and sociology, Yuval Noah Harari analyzes humanity's main evolutionary leaps, from the human species that coexisted in the Stone Age to the technological and political revolutions of the 21st century — which transformed us into gods, capable of create and to destroy.” (in wook.pt)
The Brief Life of Flowers, by Valerie Perrin
“Atmospheric, touching and - so often - hilarious, this is a novel of life: of those who have departed and live in us, of the light that can reveal itself even in the deepest darkness. Because sometimes the simplicity of a gesture is enough, the freshness of living water is enough to give us back to the world, to ourselves and to others.” (in wook.pt)
