THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON - F SCOTT F...

The inspiration for the major motion picture starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett  plus
eighteen other stories by the beloved author of The Great Gatsby   In the title story of this
collection by one of America's greatest writers  a baby born in 1860 begins life as an old man
and proceeds to age backward. F. Scott Fizgerald hinted at this kind of inversion when he
called his era "a generation grown up to find all Gods dead  all wars fought  all faiths in man
shaken." Perhaps nowhere in American fiction has this "Lost Generation" been more vividly
preserved than in Fitzgerald's short fiction. Spanning the early twentieth-century American
landscape  this original collection captures  with Fitzgerald's signature blend of enchantment
and disillusionment  America during the Jazz Age.  For more than seventy years  Penguin has
