概要

“I wish we weren’t so terribly poor, Grant, sighed Mrs. Thornton, her voice filled with despair. Is there something that has prompted this feeling, mother?” Horatio Alger, Jr. (January 13, 1832 – July 18, 1899) was a prolific 19th-century American author, renowned for his inspirational tales chronicling the journeys of bootblacks, newsboys, peddlers, and other underprivileged youth as they navigate their way from hardship to respectable middle-class lives. His stories of boys achieving success with the guidance of older mentors captivated readers during his time. In this true rags-to-riches tale, we follow Grant, the eldest of three children, as their widowed mother struggles to provide for them. With an unwavering determination to succeed, Grant embodies integrity and perseverance, refusing to take shortcuts on his path to achievement. - Summary by Phil Chenevert
