The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

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

In F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, one of the most original short stories ever written, a man's life unfolds in reverse. Born as an old man and aging backward toward infancy, Benjamin Button's existence defies every rule of nature and society.

As the years pass, he struggles to find love, belonging, and meaning in a world that cannot understand him. Through Fitzgerald's elegant prose and sharp wit, this poignant fantasy becomes a powerful reflection on time, identity, and the fragile beauty of human experience.

Originally published in 1922, this unforgettable story blends humor and heartbreak, exploring what it means to live a life out of order. Both tragic and tender, it reveals the universal truth that every moment—no matter how fleeting—is precious.

Celebrated for its timeless theme and adapted into an acclaimed film, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button remains one of Fitzgerald's most imaginative and haunting masterpieces.
