Question

Answer 1

You can buy the book @ Amazon or Barns&Noble

Synopsis

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" is one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's most memorable short stories. The protagonist, Benjamin Button, is born an old man and ages in reverse until he becomes a baby and then finally vanishes from the earth.

In a short introduction to the story, Fitzgerald wrote: "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. Several weeks after completing it, I discovered an almost identical plot in Samuel Butler's 'Note-books.'

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" was the inspiration for the major motion picture of the same name and remains one of Fitzgerald's most haunting and beautiful tales.

This collection also includes three other Jazz Age tales by Fitzgerald.

Answer 2

As noted before it's based upon a story by F. Scott Fitzgerald. That story,  which you can find here: http://www.readbookonline.net/read/690/1... , can be read online. The book, "The Confessions of Max Tivoli" also closely follows this storyline. It can be purchased here: http://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Tivoli...

It's an okay book but I like the story more.
