The Curious Case of Benjamin Button = The Mysterious Story of Benjamin Button

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button = The Mysterious Story of Benjamin Button

"The Mysterious Story of Benjamin Button" is one of the most well-known fantastical stories by Francis Scott Fitzgerald, which he called tales of the jazz age: a man was born 70 years old and lived his life in reverse, going... from old man to baby. The author wrote about the concept of this unusual work: "The idea for the plot came from Mark Twain's observation about how unfortunate it is that the best part of life occurs closer to the beginning, and the worst - closer to the end. My experiment with just one person in a very ordinary world scarcely could fully do justice to this idea."
The book also includes stories in the style of tales of the jazz age, "May Day" and "Oh, Red Witch!".
The text is abridged and adapted. Level B1.
