El tiempo corre hacia atrás, los sueños se desvanecen y las ilusiones se hacen añicos: cinco deslumbrantes relatos del maestro estadounidense de la era del jazz.El curioso caso de Benjamin Button y otros relatos es una cautivadora colección de relatos cortos de F. Scott Fitzgerald, extraídos de su emblemática obra Cuentos de la era del jazz. Mezclando sátira, romance, crítica social y realismo mágico, estos relatos capturan la vitalidad y la desilusión de los Estados Unidos de la posguerra a través de la inconfundible voz lírica de Fitzgerald.El núcleo del libro es «El curioso caso de Benjamin Button», un relato inquietante y original sobre un hombre que nace viejo y envejece al revés. Esta historia inolvidable, una reflexión sobre el tiempo, la identidad y lo que significa vivir una vida plena, ha inspirado a generaciones de lectores y ha dado lugar a una importante adaptación cinematográfica de Hollywood.En «Primero de mayo», Fitzgerald presenta un retrato poderoso y caótico de unos Estados Unidos al borde del abismo, entrelazando los destinos de soldados, fiesteros y hombres de clase trabajadora en una sola noche fatídica. «El gomita» es una mirada tierna e irónica a las oportunidades perdidas y las clases sociales en el sur de los Estados Unidos. «¡Oh, bruja pelirroja!» es una fantasía surrealista y agridulce sobre el anhelo y las oportunidades perdidas. Y «Los residuos de la felicidad» explora el amor, la enfermedad y la fragilidad de la alegría con una elegancia desgarradora.Ideal para los lectores que aman los relatos cortos atemporales, los clásicos modernos y la literatura de los años veinte, esta edición te invita a experimentar la brillantez de Fitzgerald más allá de El gran Gatsby. Cada relato revela una faceta diferente de la década: su glamour, su inquietud y sus penas ocultas.El curioso caso de Benjamin Button y otros relatos es una introducción perfecta a una de las voces literarias más importantes de Estados Unidos, y una lectura obligada para cualquiera que ame la ficción que perdura mucho después de la última página.Adéntrate en la era del jazz y descubre sus sombras. 10
