生命，从此与众不同。生命的意义、真挚的爱、追寻与渴望、拥有与失落……一切人生的体悟，尽在这本扣人心弦的小说之中！ 故事主角本杰明‧巴顿正拥有和世人截然不同的生命历程，当其他人风华散尽、迈向死亡时，班杰明却日趋年轻；时间的逆流带领班杰明走向另一条道路，也让他饱尝了他人所不曾经历过的一切。然而，这是否就是美好的人生呢？ 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.
