The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by F. Scott Fitzgerald ~ Full Audiobook [fantasy]

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by F. Scott Fitzgerald audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

In a quietly uncanny Baltimore, a child is born under extraordinary circumstances: Benjamin Button arrives with the appearance and manner of an old man, setting his family on a collision course with confusion, embarrassment, and reluctant wonder. As the years pass, Benjamin moves through school, work, love, and social life in the most unexpected direction, forcing everyone around him - and especially Benjamin himself - to confront what it means to belong in a world governed by ordinary time. His father, Roger Button, struggles to protect the family name while navigating a son who upends every expectation. Benjamin's own desires are simple enough: to be taken seriously, to find companionship, and to claim a place where his body and his age make sense together. But society is not built for someone whose life runs against the clock. With Fitzgerald's sharp wit and bittersweet insight, the story uses its fantastical premise to explore identity, ambition, romance, and the fragile rules by which people measure a life.
