A strange baby has been born: not a sweet little cherub to delight his parents, but an old man with a beard. His name: Benjamin Button. A heavy fate is destined for him: he lives life in reverse and grows younger with each passing day. When Benjamin, at the age of fifty, meets the twenty years younger Hildegarde, everything is at stake for him, who has never been loved throughout his life. A touching and quirky story, now in a new translation.
