The Curious Case of Benjamin Button


 Maybe it's more popular the film that lately has been released and starred by Brad Pitt, but here in the blog we will talk about the book, that was written before the film (1922). In fact, more than a book, we could say that it is a tale because it only has 10 pages. It's a very short story about a man that was born old and grows up on the opposite way of the others. So, he doesn't get on with the other people as when he is old, the others that are his same age are babies, and when he is about to die he is a baby,while the other are old.

The writer is F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896 – 1940) that was an American author of a lot of novels and short tales for all ages. His gold age was in the 20's, fantastic years after the First World War when the United Estates was living a good economic and cultural moment. He was even in a literary movement of the United States called the Lost Generation.

You can find the book on the Internet in the following link that we give you; the book is free and very easy to understand :
