The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

What if you were born old—and grew younger every day?

In The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, F. Scott Fitzgerald turns time upside down to tell one of the most original short stories in modern literature. Born in 1860 as a seventy-year-old man, Benjamin Button lives his life in reverse—growing physically younger even as the world around him moves forward.

As Benjamin attempts to fit into a society that doesn't understand him, Fitzgerald explores powerful themes of aging, love, isolation, and the passing of time. Blending wit, melancholy, and philosophical insight, this remarkable tale challenges what it means to live a life worth remembering.
