The Mysterious Case of Benjamin Button

Francis Scott Fitzgerald arguably has one of the leading solo parts in the orchestral score of the "Jazz Age." The writer, whose reflection of the crazy life of America in the 1920s is perhaps unmatched, was himself flesh of the... flesh of that legendary era; his name was on the lips of contemporaries and in the reports of social chronicles. His scandalous behavior horrified some and delighted others. But eccentricity and external glitz have faded into the past, and what remains in the present are his immortal books. This volume includes his best stories, including "The Mysterious Case of Benjamin Button," which David Fincher adapted into a renowned film in 2009, starring Brad Pitt in the lead role. "His talent was as natural as the pattern of pollen on a butterfly's wings," Ernest Hemingway said of his friend. Imagine how the sensual music sounds, how the sequins shine on fantastic dresses, and how fur boas shimmer in the rays of dazzling lights. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the "Jazz Age" - a term coined by Francis Scott Fitzgerald.
