Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the story follows Benjamin as he navigates the challenges and peculiarities of living life in reverse. As Benjamin's journey unfolds, readers are drawn into a world where the ordinary becomes extraordinary and the boundaries of age and experience are challenged. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a timeless classic that invites readers to ponder the complexities of life and the inevitability of change in a way that is both poignant and unforgettable. F. SCOTT FITZGERALD [1896-1940] was an American author, born in St. Paul, Minnesota. His legendary marriage to Zelda Montgomery, along with their acquaintances with notable figures such as Gertrude Stein and Ernest Hemingway, and their lifestyle in 1920s Paris, has become iconic. A master of the short story genre, it is logical that his most famous novel is also his shortest: The Great Gatsby [1925].
