In a quiet little town in the American West at the start of the twentieth century, two childhood friends have an idea: to make everyone believe that the town is going to become a big city. As long as people believe it, land prices rise. They buy land, lay out a new district and bring in the railway.
A humorous satire about easy money, friendship and the fever of speculation.
Its lively tone and plentiful dialogue make it an enjoyable read in the language you are learning.
