Description
You’ve seen Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett in the stunning, Oscar-winning film—now discover the fascinating original story that captured Hollywood's imagination. From F. Scott Fitzgerald, one of the most glamorous and iconic writers of the Jazz Age, comes the curious and satirical tale that became a blockbuster sensation. Dive into the world of lavish parties, societal intrigue, and forbidden romance that defined an era, and hear the story as Fitzgerald himself intended.
Step back to 1922 and into the glittering world of the original Jazz Age tale. In this audio adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's short story, you'll meet Benjamin Button—born a man of 70—as he begins his life aging in reverse. While the celebrated film brought this impossible life to the big screen with all the glitz and visual effects Hollywood could muster, the audiobook offers something different: an intimate, unembellished, and captivating experience.
