Sobre este audiolivro
A childless couple is led to believe they will inherit a fortune, and they spend their days planning how to spend the imaginary millions. Their obsession with the bequest corrodes their morals and happiness, leading to a tragic realization when the truth is revealed. This collection includes stories that range from the farcical to the grim, exploring the human capacity for self-deception. It highlights the author's darker, more cynical view of the corrupting influence of money.
