About this audiobook
What if life were lived in reverse?
In this landmark, fantastical short story that inspired the major motion picture, F. Scott Fitzgerald unleashes his imagination on one of literature’s most enchanting and curious "what ifs."
Benjamin Button is born an old man—withered, feeble, and speaking in the measured tones of a septuagenarian—and mysteriously begins aging backward. As the years pass, he grows younger, his body rejuvenating while his mind retains the memories of a life lived in reverse. Through this extraordinary condition, he experiences love, war, family, and ambition in a manner no one else ever has or ever will.
A poignant meditation on time, mortality, and the inexorable flow of life, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a masterful blend of wry humor, social satire, and profound tenderness. It stands as one of Fitzgerald’s most original and unforgettable tales, exploring the fundamental question: What does it mean to truly live a life, no matter which direction it runs?
