In the city of Baltimore in 1860, Benjamin Button is born with a strange condition: instead of arriving as a baby, he is an old man of seventy. As time passes, Benjamin grows younger instead of aging, experiencing love, war, and society in a completely unique way. His unusual existence forces him to navigate a world that follows the natural course of time while he moves in reverse.
With elegant and melancholic prose, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a fascinating reflection on time, identity, and the inevitability of fate, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Об авторе
Francis Scott Fitzgerald was an American writer considered one of the greatest literary figures of the 20th century and the Jazz Age. Born in Minnesota, he rose to fame with The Great Gatsby (1925), a novel that captured the spirit of the Roaring Twenties while critiquing the obsession with the American Dream. Throughout his life, he wrote novels and short stories exploring themes of ambition, love, and the decay of high society. Despite his talent, he faced financial and personal struggles, passing away at the age of 44 without witnessing the full recognition of his work, which later became a cornerstone of American literature.
