Confessions of Max Tivoli

He is nearly seventy years old, but he looks as if he is only seven - for Max is ageing backwards. The tragedy of Max's life was to fall in love at seventeen with Alice, a girl his own age - but to her, Max looks like an unappealingly middle-aged man.

Are aproape saptezeci de ani, dar arata ca si cum ar avea doar sapte - pentru ca Max imbatraneste pe spate. Tragedia vietii lui Max a fost sa se indragosteasca la saptesprezece ani de Alice, o fata de varsta lui - dar pentru ea, Max arata ca un barbat neatragator de varsta mijlocie.
