Resumen del Editor
F. Scott Fitzgerald makes antebellum Baltimore his setting for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a fantastical tale with some Poe-like overtones about a baby born at age 70 who then lives life in reverse, his hair turning "in the dozen years of his life from white to iron-gray, the network of wrinkles on his face becoming less pronounced". What ramifications that creates for Benjamin's relationship with his father first and then later with his wife and his own son makes for some fantastical situations.

Historia
Published in 1922, Fitzgerald's second novel chronicles the relationship of Anthony Patch, Harvard-educated, aspiring aesthete, and his beautiful wife, Gloria, as they await to inherit his grandfather's fortune. A devastating satire of the nouveaux rich and New York's nightlife, of reckless ambition and squandered talent, it is also a shattering portrait of a marriage fueled by alcohol and wasted by wealth. The Beautiful and Damned, Fitzgerald wrote to Zelda in 1930, "was all true."

Historia
Martin Eden, Jack London’s semiautobiographical novel, is about a struggling young writer. It is considered by many to be the author’s most mature work. Personifying London’s own dreams of education and literary fame as a young man in San Francisco, Martin Eden’s impassioned but ultimately ineffective battle to overcome his bleak circumstances makes him one of the most memorable and poignant characters Jack London ever created.

Historia
The Voyage Out is Virginia Woolf's haunting tale about a naïve young woman's sea voyage from London to a small resort on the South American coast. In symbolic, lyrical, and intoxicating prose, her outward journey begins to mirror her internal voyage into adulthood as she searches for her personal identity, grapples with love, and learns how to face life intellectually and emotionally. Its wit and exquisiteness, and its profound depth and insight into humanity, will capture the imagination of the listener.

Historia
One of the greatest prose writers and social commentators of the 20th century, Aldous Huxley here introduces us to a delightfully cynical, comic, and severe group of artists and intellectuals engaged in the most free-thinking and modern kind of talk imaginable. Poetry, occultism, ancestral history, and Italian primitive painting are just a few of the subjects competing for discussion among the amiable cast of eccentrics drawn together at Crome, an intensely English country manor.

At the age of eighteen, Lucy Gayheart heads for Chicago to study music. She is beautiful and impressionable and ardent, and these qualities attract the attention of Clement Sebastian, an aging but charismatic singer who exercises all the tragic, sinister fascination of a man who has renounced life only to turn back to seize it one last time. Out of their doomed love affair—and Lucy's fatal estrangement from her origins—Willa Cather creates a novel that is as achingly lovely as a Schubert sonata.

Here is an extraordinary portrait of one of the most complicated - and misunderstood - figures among the Founding Fathers. In 1804, while serving as vice president, Aaron Burr fought a duel with his political nemesis, Alexander Hamilton, and killed him. In 1807, he was arrested, tried, and acquitted of treason. In 1833, Burr is newly married, an aging statesman considered a monster by many. But he is determined to tell his own story, and he chooses to confide in a young New York City journalist. Burr is the first novel in Gore Vidal's Narratives of Empire series.

Although it is little known in this country, The Belly of Paris is considered one of Émile Zola’s best novels. Set in the newly built food markets of Paris, it is a story of wealth and poverty set against a sumptuous banquet of food and commerce. Having just escaped from prison after being wrongfully accused, young Florent arrives at Paris’ food market, Les Halles, half starved, surrounded by all he can’t have, and indignant at his world, which he now knows to be unjust. He finds that the city’s working classes have been displaced to make way for bigger streets and bourgeois living quarters, so he settles in with his brother’s family.

Hailed as Charlotte Brontë’s “finest novel” by Virginia Woolf, Villette is the timeless semi-autobiographical tale of Lucy Snowe. Left with no family and no money, Lucy goes against her own timid nature and travels to the small city of Villette, France, where she becomes a school teacher in Madame Beck’s school for girls. During her stay, she falls in love—twice—and discovers an independent, inner strength rarely seen in women of her time.

Coping first with her brother's wild theatrical ambitions, then with the defection of her fiancé and his immediate replacement by a much more appropriate but strangely unattractive suitor, Sally finds that life in New York is becoming altogether too complicated, and a trip to England only makes the whole situation worse.

It Is What It Is
This was written in the 1920s, so I don't expect this to be progressive. And as any classic, it obviously have some boring parts.
But if one focuses on what the people around Benjamin are doing, it reflects so much on how people, particularly Americans, thinks at that time. They're more focus on their family name and reputations, they don't like scandals (even though nobody wanted what had happened). And if one is to relate this in today's time, I think this is still shows how in terms of aging, children and old men are considered to be not productive enough in society. That in life, your 20s-40s are your golden years.

Looking to see if returns are possible
I can’t tell you about the story because I can’t get passed the first chapter. The reader really reads the book, whereas, most to which I have listened sound like they are telling the story. It’s jolting and harder to follow this way.

Interesting….
I was surprised to see this was only 1 hr. The movie with Brad Pitt is 2 hrs & 47 min (Its currently on Showtime & I watched it) which is quite long for a movie these days.
I enjoyed listening, but you will be disappointed if you are expecting it to be like the movie. The movie adds a lot to this story.
*^*TO REVIEWERS*^*
Many people read reviews to help them make decisions on what they want to spend their money on. IMHO reviewers need to be more mindful of those of us reading your reviews. Please do not give away so much of the storyline. Books are ruined when reviewers give out more than just their opinions. There is no need to tell story details with your review. Let people hear/read for themselves instead of getting important details from your review.
Please & Thank You!!

Brilliant!
A wonderful idea indeed. Who would have thought? Although the story is short, very well structured. Scott F. Fitzgerald flew to the top of his imagination for an unexpected set back

Good story
Good story, good performance. Not life changing, just a very good story. I recommend it.

Needs to be way, way longer
The premise of the story is very interesting, but 70 years go by so quick that you don’t have a sense of Ben’s life at all, you’re left wanting so much more

An enjoyable old story
A short story in comparison to most of the books I listen too. I really enjoyed it.

Enjoyed this short story
There is one main thing in the story that is like the movie…he’s born old and gets younger till he’s a newborn and dies. That’s the only similarity. I did enjoy the short story, just know it’s not like the movie.

Kind of Outdated
I thought the story was very interesting. Some of the ideas on gender, race, and class are outdated though. It was also annoying that people were getting mad at him for something uncontrollable. It was an interesting story though.
