Donogoo Tickets

Lamendin is a desperate man suffering from an existential crisis. Le Trouhadec is a professor of geography who longs for election to the Academy of Sciences. Together they unwittingly set in motion a stock market swindle of global proportions. Investors, pioneers and prospectors alike are driven to seek their fortune in Donogoo, a place that doesn't exist—or does it?

“A spoof of scientific accuracy, high finance, trade, patriotism, pioneering, and a host of momentous and minute matters.” - The Times, 1961
