The powerful story of Benjamin Button who starts his life as an old man and gradually becomes younger is one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's best known stories and now a major motion picture."This story was inspired by a remark of Mark Twain's to the effect that it was a pity that the best part of life came at the beginning and the worst part at the end. By trying the experiment upon only one man in a perfectly normal world I have scarcely given his idea a fair trial."-F. Scott Fitzgerald
