A determined young man from humble beginnings sets out to forge a better life in the face of hardship and uncertainty. With grit, honesty, and unshakeable resolve, he rises above adversity through sheer will and good character. Can ambition and virtue truly triumph in a world stacked against the poor?
Strive and Succeed follows the journey of a disadvantaged boy as he battles poverty and prejudice to achieve success in post-Civil War America. A classic tale of perseverance and self-reliance, the story embodies the quintessential Horatio Alger theme: that integrity and hard work can overcome even the steepest social barriers. This inspiring narrative continues to resonate as a timeless testament to the American Dream.
Horatio Alger, Jr. (1832-1899) was a 19th-century American author of approximately 135 dime novels. Many of his works are rags-to-riches stories of down-and-out boys who achieve success through hard work and moral virtue.
