O autorze

Horatio Alger (1832-1899) was an American writer of young adult novels about impoverished boys and their rise from humble backgrounds to lives of middle-class security and comfort through good works. His writings were characterized by the 'rags-to-riches’ narrative, which had a formative effect on the United States during the Gilded Age.
