The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The book is organized on the principle of bilingualism: the work is published in English (the original text) with a parallel translation into Russian.

Benjamin Button was born as a seventy-year-old man and lived his life 'backwards': from old age to infancy. Amazingly, he sometimes managed to be an ordinary person: to receive an education, start a family, serve his country… However, the events of childhood, experienced by a man in his later years, and the old age spent in a crib are unique and raise unresolved questions related to human nature and the impossibility of normal relationships with loved ones.

Studying a foreign language through parallel reading helps not only to significantly expand vocabulary but also to effectively work on mastering grammatical structures and speech turns. This book in English is accompanied by a parallel corresponding translation in Russian. The book will help to improve and refresh your language, replenish your vocabulary with useful vocabulary, and check your knowledge of grammar. Each paragraph in English corresponds to a paragraph in Russian. At the end of the book, notes explaining some words are presented. Compiler and translator Zagorodnyaya I.B.
