Horatio Alger

Horatio Alger, Jr. was born in Chelsea, Massachusetts in 1832, the son of a Unitarian minister. He received a strict upbringing and was educated for a life in the church, graduating from Harvard in 1852.

After leaving Harvard, Alger, to his father's disappointment, took a job as a historian in Middlesex County, Massachusetts and later worked as a teacher at a boys' boarding school in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. He traveled in Europe for a year, and then returned to the United States in 1857 to complete his studies at the Cambridge Divinity School.

In 1864 Alger was ordained a minister at the First Parish Unitarian Church of Brewster on Cape Cod. Sixteen months later, however, he was dismissed from the pulpit after being accused of engaging in homosexual relations with two boys. After his dismissal, Alger began to focus on his writing career, which spanned more than three decades and 110 books. He wrote mainly children's books about boys and girls who rise from rags to riches through hard work and faith in the American dream. His first major success came with the publication of his eighth novel, Ragged Dick in 1868. Other popular novels include Luck and Pluck (1869), Tattered Tom (1871), and Strive and Succeed (1872). Alger also wrote several adult novels, including A Fancy of Her's (first publihsed as The New Schoolma'am in 1877) and The Disagreeable Woman (1895).

Alger, who never married, spent the last decades of his life living at his family home in South Natick, Massachusetts, where he died in 1899.

Samenvatting

In the classic novel 'Bound to Rise' by Horatio Alger, the story follows the life of a young boy named Henry who overcomes various obstacles to achieve success through hard work and perseverance. Alger's writing style is straightforward and accessible, making it easy for readers to connect with the protagonist and his journey. Set in a time when the American Dream was a popular concept, this book embodies the values of determination and self-reliance that were celebrated during the time of its publication in the late 19th century. The plot unfolds through a series of moral lessons and inspiring moments that resonate with readers of all ages. Horatio Alger, known for his rags-to-riches stories, drew inspiration from his own experiences and observations of society to create characters that exemplify the virtues of honesty and integrity. His background in social work and his commitment to uplifting the less fortunate shine through in his writing, making his stories both entertaining and educational. I highly recommend 'Bound to Rise' to readers looking for a heartfelt and motivational tale that extols the values of hard work and determination. Alger's timeless message of hope and perseverance continues to inspire readers to this day, making this book a must-read for anyone seeking a classic story of triumph over adversity.
