📱 eBook en inglés THE BIG MOGUL (SUMMARIZED EDITION)

Set on Lincolns beloved Cape Cod, The Big Mogul tracks the comic and unsettling ripples when a self-styled mogul tries to bend a tide-hardened village to his schemes. Town-meeting skirmishes, kitchen-table alliances, and a modest romance test Yankee thrift and neighborly duty. Lincolns genial satire, salted with dialect and nautical metaphor, situates the tale within American regionalism, probing how modern money and publicity collide with customary ways. Joseph Crosby Lincoln (1870–1944), a Brewster, Massachusetts native, made a career of rendering Cape life with fidelity and wit. Drawing on childhood memory, town-meeting lore, and the talk of skippers and shopkeepers, he turned observation into moral comedy. Writing for popular magazines while tourism and commerce remade the peninsula, he had both nostalgia and firsthand evidence for the pressures he dramatizes. Readers who prize humane wit, sharply etched local color, and shrewd social observation will find The Big Mogul bracing and restorative. It is recommended to students of American regional literature, lovers of New England storytelling, and anyone curious about the perennial contest between success and stewardship.
