About the Book

Narra la historia de los sucesos acontecidos tras la muerte de William J. Hypperbone, un solitario que sin embargo es miembro del Excentric Club, apasionado del juego de la oca, natural de Chicago y muy adinerado. La última voluntad de este hombre es que se celebren unos funerales excéntricos en los que habrán de primar la alegría, la música y la suntuosidad. Además, pide que, de entre todos los habitantes de Chicago, se escoja por sorteo a seis personas que habrán de asistir a los funerales. Tras gran expectativa, se da a conocer los nombres de los ganadores del sorteo (se rumoreaba que de entre ellos saldría el heredero de la fortuna de Hypperbone), que son éstos: Hodge Urrican: ex marino bastante irascible y temperamental. Va acompañado por Turk, que es igual de rabioso. Lissy Wag: cajera, una joven sencilla. Acepta ir a los funerales a insistencia de su amiga Jovita Foley y tiene especial interés por Max Real. Harris T Kymbale: periodista del "Tribune" que en una ocasión tiene un duelo con el comodoro Urrican en un tren. Hermann Titbury: usurero, avaro, tacaño, casado y sin hijos. Es manejado siempre por la señora Titbury, que es igual que él. Tom Crabbe: boxeador torpe y bestial. Es su representante, John Milner, quien habla y piensa por él. Se podría decir que John Milner es el jugador, porque Tom Crabbe es sólo la imagen. Max Real: pintor, emocionado por viajar, que tiene mucho interés en Lissy Wag. Viaja acompañado por su fiel criado Tommy. El propio testamento indica que habrá de hacerse público tras quince días del fallecimiento. Transcurrido ese tiempo, se procede a su lectura. Figura en el testamento que la fortuna de Hypperbone, de 60 millones de dólares, se entregará a la persona ganadora en un singular juego de la oca que se desarrollará en el territorio de los Estados Unidos de América. De esta forma, las 64 casillas del juego se han repartido entre los 50 estados que entonces componían ese país, de manera que a algunos estados les corresponde más de una casilla a cada uno. En el juego participarán los seis elegidos por sorteo más un misterioso jugador conocido sólo por XKZ. Tras muchas jornadas, la suerte de los jugadores es diversa. Al final, gana el juego XKZ, que es el mismo Hypperbone, que no había muerto, sino que había sufrido un ataque de catalepsia y que, al recuperarse y ver la expectativa creada, dejó seguir las cosas con ayuda del notario Tornbrock y del presidente del Excentric Club: Mr. Higgingbotham.
