SINOPSE
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by F. Scott Fitzgerald Audiobook is a short story about a man who ages in reverse, from senescence to infancy, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It was first published in Collier's Magazine on May 27, 1922, with the cover and illustrations by James Montgomery Flagg. It was subsequently anthologized in Fitzgerald's 1922 book Tales of the Jazz Age, which is occasionally published as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Jazz Age Stories.
Plot:
In 1860 Baltimore, Benjamin is born with the physical appearance of a 70-year-old man, already capable of speech. His father Roger invites neighbourhood boys to play with him and orders him to play with children's toys, but Benjamin obeys only to please his father. At five, Benjamin is sent to kindergarten but is quickly withdrawn after he repeatedly falls asleep during child activities.
At the age of 18, Benjamin enrolls in Yale College, but is sent home by officials, who think he is a 50-year-old lunatic. When Benjamin turns 20, the Button family realizes that he is aging backwards.
In 1880, when Benjamin is 20, his father gives him a control of Roger Button & Co. Wholesale Hardware. He meets the young Hildegarde Moncrief, a daughter of General Moncrief, and falls in love with her. Hildegarde mistakes Benjamin for a 50-year-old brother of Roger Button; she prefers older men and marries him six months later, but remains ignorant of his condition. Years later, Benjamin's business has been successful, but he is tired of Hildegarde because her beauty has faded and she nags him. Bored at home, he enlists in the Spanish–American War in 1898 and achieves great triumph in the military, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel. He retires from the army to focus on his company, and receives a medal.
In 1910, Benjamin, now looking like a 20-year-old, turns over control of his company to his son, Roscoe, and enrolls at Harvard University. His first year there is a great success: he dominates in football and takes revenge against Yale for having rejected him years before. However, during his junior and senior years he is only 16 years old, too weak to play football and barely able to cope with the academic work.

SOBRE O AUTOR
F. Scott Fitzgerald
Escritor norte-americano nascido a 24 de setembro de 1896, em St. Paul, no estado do Minnesota, e falecido a 21 de dezembro de 1940. Aos 13 anos, escreveu The Mystery of the Raymond Mortgage, uma história sobre um detetive que foi publicada no jornal da escola que frequentava. Depois de ter passado por uma escola católica, ingressou, em 1913, na Universidade de Princeton, mas apostou mais no desenvolvimento das suas aptidões literárias do que a estudar as matérias do seu curso. Em 1917, por exemplo, escreveu argumentos e letras para espetáculos musicais e textos humorísticos para revistas. Como constatou que não ia conseguir terminar o curso, ainda em 1917 alistou-se no exército, onde chegou a segundo-tenente. Na altura, os Estados Unidos da América estavam envolvidos na Primeira Guerra Mundial e Fitzgerald estava convencido que ia morrer em combate. Por isso, escreveu a toda a pressa o romance The Romantic Egoist. No ano seguinte, foi trabalhar para Nova Iorque e, apesar de bem sucedido no mundo da publicidade, Fitzgerald deixou o emprego em 1919 para se dedicar ao romance This Side of Paradise, onde usou material de The Romantic Egoist. No mesmo ano, começou a escrever artigos para revistas populares. Para poder ganhar mais dinheiro deixou a escrita de romances e começou a escrever histórias de ficção para jornais. As suas histórias de amor foram consideradas inovadoras e refrescantes. Em 1920, finalmente publicou This Side of Paradise, com o qual alcançou um tremendo sucesso. Logo no ano seguinte, publicou o seu segundo romance, The Beautiful and Damned. Francis Scott Fitzgerald e sua mulher entraram, entretanto, numa fase de grandes luxos participando em inúmeras festas, gastando muito dinheiro e acumulando dívidas. Em 1924, o romancista mudou-se para França, onde escreveu um dos seus livros mais marcantes, The Great Gatsby (O Grande Gatsby), que apesar de ter recebido boas críticas foi um fracasso a nível de vendas. Este romance viria a ser adaptado ao teatro e, posteriormente, ao cinema, ganhando outra visibilidade. A versão cinematográfica mais conhecida é a de 1974, realizada por Jack Clayton, tendo Robert Redford por protagonista. Fitzgerald regressou aos Estados Unidos da América em 1931, tendo tentado escrever alguns argumentos para filmes. Contudo, só conseguiu terminar um, Three Comrades, em 1938. Logo depois, foi despedido devido aos seus problemas de alcoolismo. Em 1939, começou a escrever o romance The Love of The Last Tycoon, que nunca terminaria porque morreu vítima de ataque cardíaco a 21 de dezembro de 1940. No entanto, baseado no que já deixara escrito, foi realizado, em 1976, o filme The Last Tycoon. Sob a direção de Elia Kazan estiveram os atores Robert de Niro, Robert Mitchum e Jack Nicholson. F. Scott Fitzgerald escreveu também alguns contos, entre os quais Babylon Revisited, que inspirou o filme The Last Time I Saw Paris (Última Vez Que Vi Paris), com Elizabeth Taylor.
