The author was as widely read as Mark Twain. Some people even call him the father of the American Dream. Yes, that's Horatio Alger. Horatio Alger was born in 1832 in Chelsea, Massachusetts. The son of a minister, Alger went to Harvard. Thirty-four year-old, he moved to New York and started assisting the homeless boys. His stories are full of compassion for street urchins, for abandoned children in New York City. "Struggling Upward" is a social novel that represents a bright example of Horatio Alger's writing style. As in many other Alger's books the central figure of the story is a poor boy who struggles for his life. But one day the boy gets lucky and and becomes a partner of man who sells neckties. Will he manage to make his way through all the hardships? Read this brilliant novel and you will know!
