"God bless you, Mr. Rosewater" ("Mr. Rosewater o como tirarles margaritas a los chanchos") - acercamiento en inglés

As the opening of the book explains, this is a story where the leading character is Money.
The Rosewater Foundation was founded by United States senator Lister Ames Rosewater of Indiana to help Rosewater descendants avoid paying taxes on the family estate in Rosewater County, Indiana. It is operated by a large legal firm in New York and provides an annual pension of $3.5 million to Eliot, the senator's son.
Restless, Eliot goes through the list of things philanthropists do to help the poor, and eventually sets out across America, going from small town to small town, before landing in Rosewater and setting up shop. He calls Rosewater home after becoming a volunteer firefighter in numerous cities across the U.S. This, along with his drunkenness, his generous relationship with the poor in Rosewater, and his odd relationship with his French wife, make him appear a bit crazy. Norman Mushari, a conniving lawyer, is determined to prove him insane so he can reroute a portion of the Rosewater fortune to himself, while transferring it to unwitting distant Rosewater cousins in Rhode Island.

Lo compré en una mesa de saldos en Minas, departamento de Lavalleja, R.O. del Uruguay y lo lei en casa de mi abuela hacia 1981.

Fui un pionero de los viajes "turísticos - expedicionarios" al estilo docente. Ja, ja, ja, sobre todo los que hacen a Buzios y los que hacían a la isla Margarita en tiempos del menemismo, bonitos.
