Fantasy

Born old. Growing younger. Living life in reverse. In this inventive and poignant short story, F. Scott Fitzgerald turns the nature of time and aging upside down. Benjamin Button enters the world as a seventy-year-old man and, with each passing year, becomes physically younger. As Benjamin navigates love, family, and the world around him, his life becomes a bittersweet reflection on identity, acceptance, and the fleeting nature of time.

First published in 1922, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button combines Fitzgerald's signature elegance with a surreal premise, blending humor, irony, and melancholy. It remains a striking meditation on the human condition—one that resonates just as powerfully today.

"A clever and haunting exploration of time, love, and fate." – The New York Times

"Fitzgerald at his most imaginative and emotionally piercing." – The Guardian
