Synopsis

To outwit his miserly uncle, young Harry Vane finds work as a magician's assistant and embarks on a perilous sea voyage. Facing the World is part of a series of rags to riches stories of boys working hard and achieving the American dream of wealth. The stories can be seen as tracing American cultural and social patterns. Horatio Alger, Jr. authored about seventy books. He was the son of a clergyman, graduated from Harvard. His stories are pure, inspiring and as endearing today as they were when first published.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Here sa letter for you, Harry, said George Howard. Thank you, Georgie. Where did you get it? I was passing the hotel on my way home from school when Abner Potts called out to me from the piazza, and asked me to bring it to you. The speaker was a bright, round-faced boy of ten. The boy whom he addressed was five or six years older. He had a j)leasant face, but it was a strong face, also, and there was an air of firmness and resolution which indicated that he was a boy who knew his rights, and knowing, dared maintain. He was grave, too, but this was not his ordinary expression.
