描绘了美国的一个小办事员出海游玩,迷失方向后,幸遇救,随船来到英国伦敦。他身无分文,举目无亲,两个富有的兄弟给了他一张一百万镑的钞票,并以他在三十天内凭这张百万英镑的钞票能否活下去而打赌。在小说的结尾,小人物不仅活过了三十天,并且利用这张百万英镑发了一笔财,还获得了一位小姐的芳心。小说通过小办事员的种种“历险”嘲弄了金钱在资产阶级社会叱咤风云、呼风唤雨的作用。
I didn't own a thesaurus until four years ago and I use a small websrer's dictoary that I bought for 89 cents . I use an electric typewriter that I paid$129 for six years ago . I’ve never used a word processor . I do all the cooking , cleaning and laundry for a family for six and fit my writing in a few minutes here and there . I write everything in longhand while sitting on the sofa with my four kids , eating pizza and watching TV .
现在我最想的就是出一场车祸,让自己失忆,完全忘记所有的一切,改变自己,从新开始生活,你就为我祈祷实现我的愿望吧,如果愿望不能实现,我只能继续努力。
