À propos de cet audio
This humorous novel, first published in 1902, is built around a comic device that has been used in a variety of forms in many books and plays.
A young man receives a great windfall but is prevented from fully exploiting his good fortune until he has met certain exacting preliminary conditions. In this case, Montgomery Brewster, an eligible but impecunious young bachelor, receives a bequest of $1,000,000 from a relative.
Shortly afterward he is notified that he has been nominated as the beneficiary of another and much larger bequest, but under a strict qualification: He must dispose of the initial bequest in total within a year. One of the conditions is that he must not disclose to anyone the reason for the rapid disbursement of the initial bequest. The task is made even more difficult by strict conditions regarding the ways in which the money may be spent.
Brewster's Millions has been made into a stage play and a musical, and there are 13 films that have been based on the book.
