Brewster’s Millions
George Barr McCutcheon spun one of American fiction’s most durable comic premises out of a strange inheritance. Montgomery Brewster receives a million dollars from his grandfather, then learns that a late uncle will leave him seven million more, but only if he can spend that first million within a year and have nothing left to show for it. He cannot explain the terms to anyone, cannot simply give the money away, and cannot gamble it off. The harder Brewster tries to lose, the more his luck insists on multiplying his fortune. First published in 1902, the story has been adapted for stage and screen many times over. This free PDF and EPUB edition offers the original comedy of a young man frantic to go broke.
