Facing the World is a novel written by Horatio Alger Jr. The book tells the story of a young boy named Dick Hunter who is forced to leave his home in the countryside and move to the city to find work and support his family. Dick faces many challenges and obstacles as he tries to make a life for himself in the city, including poverty, hunger, and discrimination. Despite these difficulties, he remains determined and optimistic, and eventually finds success through hard work and perseverance. The book explores themes of social mobility, the American Dream, and the importance of self-reliance and determination. It is a classic example of 19th century American literature and remains a popular and influential work to this day.It was a terrible night. None of the passengers ventured upon deck. Indeed, such was the motion that it would have been dangerous, as even the sailors found it difficult to keep their footing. Harry was pale and quiet, unlike his friend from Brooklyn, whose moans were heard mingled with the noise of the tempest.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
