O curioso caso de Benjamin Button

by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Rodrigo Breunig (Translator), Cássia Zanon (Translator)

Overview

Neste inesquecível conto, Fitzgerald inverte a lógica do próprio tempo: o esperado bebê do casal Button nasce com setenta anos, 1 metro e 73 centímetros de altura, uma barba proeminente e muitos cabelos brancos. Para além do estranhamento inicial que o nascimento causa na Baltimore do século XIX, Benjamin, a cada dia que passa, fica menos enrugado, menos curvado e mais jovial. Este personagem, que vai rejuvenescendo ao longo dos anos, levanta uma das maiores questões da humanidade: como lidar com a inexorabilidade da passagem do tempo.
