Synopsis:
Horatio Alger, Jr. (1832 1899) was a prolific American author of the 19-th century. His writings were characterized by the "rags-to-riches" narrative, which had a formative effect on America during the Gilded Age. Alger best known for his many juvenile novels about impoverished boys and their rise from humble backgrounds to lives of middle-class security and comfort through hard work, determination, courage, and honesty.The young Horatio Alger heroes often sell newspapers or deliver telegrams, a reminder of how technology has moved on. But they hope for better things and in the Alger novels their diligence and hard work win the day and they end up getting the educations they deserved and the success that their exemplary morality earns. The reader will find this prototypical Alger story about young explorer who leaves his home and goes for success both a good read and food for thought in an era when the technology doesn't make anything changes in mind but the challenges remain being the best motivation for people.
