The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

What if you were born old and grew younger with each passing year?

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (1922), by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is a brilliantly inventive short story that explores time, identity, and the strange ironies of life.

The tale follows Benjamin Button, a man who enters the world as an old man and ages in reverse, becoming younger as the years go by. From the bewilderment of his family to the challenges of love, career, and belonging, Benjamin's life unfolds as a moving reflection on society's expectations and the fleeting nature of human experience.

Blending humor, melancholy, and Fitzgerald's lyrical prose, the story is at once whimsical and deeply profound. Its exploration of life lived backwards challenges our understanding of youth, age, and what it means to truly live.

Adapted into the acclaimed 2008 film, this timeless story continues to fascinate readers with its originality and emotional depth.
