Description
Imagine: you suddenly learn that you can obtain a fortune—if only… you play a board game. But not an ordinary one: instead of pieces, you are the pieces; instead of a playing board, it’s the entire territory of the USA!
It is precisely such an unusual will that the eccentric millionaire William J. Hipperbon left behind. Six lucky winners—the most diverse people, from a student to an adventurer—must follow a strict route across the whole country, observing the rules of the bizarre “game.” Chicago, New York, New Orleans, San Francisco—the cities replace one another, and adventures pour out as if from a horn of plenty!
Along the way, the heroes face amusing misunderstandings, unexpected encounters, picturesque American landscapes, and situations that are both funny and dangerous—all of which tests character’s mettle and breeds a spirit of rivalry… and at the same time, the friendship that is born on the journey.
Jules Verne turns a trip into an exciting show, where geography becomes a game and every step promises a surprise. Will the participants make it to the finish and split a million dollars? And what matters more—money or the impressions gained along the way?
A light, witty, and thrilling novel of adventures, freedom, and the joy of discovery—ideal reading for those who dream of seeing the world!
