The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Number of pages: 320
Cover: Softcover
Francis Scott Fitzgerald probably has one of the leading solo parts in the orchestral score of the "Jazz Age". The writer, who hardly anyone reflected the crazy life of America in the 20s more vividly and impartially, was himself flesh of the flesh of that legendary era, his name was constantly on the lips of his contemporaries and in the society columns. His scandalous behavior horrified some and delighted others. But the eccentricity and external gilding have sunk into the past, and his immortal books remain in the present. This volume includes his best stories, including "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", based on which David Fincher made a sensational film of the same name in 2009 with Brad Pitt in the leading role. "His talent was as natural as the pattern of pollen on the wings of a butterfly," Ernest Hemingway said of his friend. Imagine sensual music, sparkling sequins on fantastic dresses, fur boas shimmering in the rays of shining lights. Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the "Jazz Age" - as F. Scott Fitzgerald called this time.
