Аннотация

"Ragged Dick is a well-told story of street-life in New York, that will, we should judge, be well received by the boy-readers, for whom it is intended. The Hero is a boot-black, who, by sharpness, industry, and honesty, makes his way in the world, and is, perhaps, somewhat more immaculate in character and manners than could naturally have been expected from his origin and training. We find in this, as in many books for boys, a certain monotony in the inculcation of the principle that honesty is the best policy, a proposition that, as far as mere temporal success is concerned, we believe to be only partially true. However, the book is very readable, and we should consider it a much more valuable addition to the Sunday-school library than the tales of inebriates and treatises on the nature of sin, that so often find place there."–Putnam's Magazine, July, 1868.

Аннотация

In the title of «Struggling Upward» the reader gains a sense of the type of story that he is in store for. As is common with the work of Horatio Alger Jr., «Struggling Upward» is the story of a young man's attempts to rise himself up from his bootstraps and make something of himself in this world. In this case, Luke Larkin, who through hard work, honesty, determination, and concern for others (the qualities consistently praised in Alger's work) rises up to improve his lot in life and achieve a respectable success and place in society.
