Brewster’s Millions

$19.00

Description

Probably one of the most dramatic and fascinatingly humorous books you will ever encounter, Brewster’s Millions is an addictive, intense work written around the turn of the 20th century. The book centers around Montgomery Brewster, a young man who has the fortune of inheriting a million dollars from his rich grandfather.

Things take a turn for the absurd, when Brewster not only inherits another $7 million from a wealthy uncle, but it also turns out that said uncle deeply despised his grandfather, and included a provision in the will that Brewster has to be penniless by the time of his birthday, in order for him to legally inherit the amount. He then ends up in a chain of events that take him from befriending a couple of thieves after drawing their attention to the $300 they didn’t notice in his right pocket, to spending his money in a manner that he is sure to end up with nothing left, but the shirt on his back.

This droll and exciting tale will delight you in more ways than one in its fascinating depiction of Brewster’s unlikely adventures. The book was written in a time when a “measly” million dollars was considered to be a sizable fortune.

Brewster’s Millions was penned by George Barr McCutcheon (1866-1928), an American playwright and novelist from Indiana that became well-known for his Graustark series, and a set of other 40 novels, as well as several plays that have brought him into the spotlight as a successful literary artist.

Originally written in the early 1900s, the book became quite widely recognized with the passing of time, having been even turned into a movie in 1985. Whether or not you saw and enjoyed the film, you’ll find the book to be at least just as captivating, if not more so, and McCutcheon’s unmistakable style will keep you interested despite the book’s misguided reputation as a somewhat dated novel.
