Le informazioni nella sezione "Riassunto" possono far riferimento a edizioni diverse di questo titolo.
F. Scott Fitzgerald was born in 1896 in St Paul, Minnesota. In 1920 he married Zelda Sayre. Their destructive relationship and her subsequent mental breakdowns became a major influence on his writing. Among his publications were five novels, This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, The Beautiful and Damned, Tender is the Night and The Love of the Last Tycoon (his last and unfinished work), plus six volumes of short stories. Fitzgerald died suddenly in 1940.
Full grown with a long, smoke-coloured beard, requiring the services of a cane and fonder of cigars than warm milk, Benjamin Button is a very curious baby indeed. And, as Benjamin becomes increasingly youthful with the passing years, his family wonders why he persists in the embarrassing folly of living in reverse. In this imaginative fable of ageing and the other stories collected here including The Cut-Glass Bowl in which an ill-meant gift haunts a family s misfortunes, The Four Fists where a man’s life shaped by a series of punches to his face, and the revelry, mobs and anguish of May Day F. Scott Fitzgerald displays his unmatched gift as a writer of short stories.
