Brewster’s Millions

$19.00

Description

Written by George Barr McCutcheon, Brewster’s Million was originally penned in the early 1900s, and soon became a well-known comedy novel that competed with the works of many of McCutcheon’s contemporaries. While it was even turned into a movie in the 1980s, Brewster’s Million remains far more amusing and inventive as a novel than any other type of adaptation.

The storyline seems complicated at first, but it soon turns out to be droll and eventful, as well as easy to follow. Mr. Brewster is a young man who inherits no less than $7 million from his uncle – which, in those days was considered to be a much more sizable fortune than today. However, there is a catch: he has to be penniless before his next birthday in order to inherit the money, under the circumstances that he had already inherited $1 million from his grandfather.

Started from a feud between two relatives who despised each other, the story quickly escalates, as Brewster needs to use the full extent of his intelligence and creativity in order to meet his uncle’s demands, and finally inherit his fortune.

The book is as much of an adventure story as it is a funny comedy. With a masterful writing style reminiscent in some places to the great Mark Twain, McCutcheon manages to completely immerse his readers into a story that, although it was set at the beginning of the 20th century, it is still quite realistic, believable and remarkably humorous more than 100 years later.

From befriending thieves to hosting an expensive cruise and entering into an altercation with an Arab Sheik, Brewster proves that he is certainly up to the challenge of handling the challenges and changes that live had set before him. Can he ultimately reach his goals? Read this finely written, comedic and quite addictive novel to find out.
