Cover von Mark Twain: Million Pound Bank Note (ePUB)

Swept out to sea in a boating accident, Henry Adams is penniless and in rags ashore in London. Whilst roaming the streets, his luck changes; two brothers hand him an envelope with no explanation. Inside lies a banknote worth one million pounds. But how can a penniless man prove that he legally possesses such a banknote? What urged Adams to sail away? Why did the two brothers give away their fortune?Combining wit, humour and humility, Mark Twain’s 19th century short story provides a social commentary ideal for fans of Steven Spielberg’s ‚Catch Me If You Can‘. Made into a BBC Radio 4 adaptation, ‚The Million Pound Bank Note‘ remains a funny and poignant tale of power and greed.-
