Notă biografică

Horatio Alger, Jr. (1832-1899) was an American writer best known for his boys' novels of poverty, perseverance, honesty, and social advancement. Born in Massachusetts and educated at Harvard, Alger became one of the most widely read juvenile authors of the nineteenth century. His fiction often follows poor or disadvantaged boys who improve their circumstances through work, education, courage, thrift, and moral conduct, sometimes aided by fortunate encounters with kindly patrons or employers. The phrase "Horatio Alger story" became shorthand for the American idea of rising from humble beginnings through effort and character.Alger's most famous novel, Ragged Dick, first appeared in serial form in 1867 and was published as a book in 1868. Set among New York City bootblacks and street boys, it established the pattern that made his name famous: the movement from hardship toward respectability, not sudden wealth, through self-discipline and opportunity. His work remains important to the history of American children's literature, boys' fiction, social-mobility narratives, New York street-life fiction, and nineteenth-century popular culture.
