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.
