Horatio Alger, Jr. January 13, 1832 - July 18, 1899) was a prolific 19th-century American author, best known for his many juvenile novels about impoverished boys and their rise from humble backgrounds to lives of middle-class security and comfort through hard work, determination, courage, and honesty. His writings were characterized by the "rags-to-riches" narrative, which had a formative effect on America during the Gilded Age. Essentially, all of Alger's juvenile novels share the same theme, known as the "Horatio Alger myth" a teenage boy works hard to escape poverty. Often though, it is not the hard work itself that rescues the boy from his fate, but rather some extraordinary act of bravery or honesty. The boy might return a large sum of lost money or rescue someone from an overturned carriage. This brings the boy-and his plight-to the attention of a wealthy individual.
My name is Abraham the fool. Well, that is what the white Berber called me. They gave me the name while I was still a kid. I am not a fool, but the name followed me wherever I went. In my family were nine children, six boys and three girls. I am the fourth born and the fourth son. I was fond of my brothers and sisters, and they were fond of me too. My younger brother and my sister that came after me died at a very young age when I was still a young boy. I am still not sure how they died. Things like this are not uncommon in the dangerous and difficult life we lead in our village. The village is plagued with enormous malaria carrying mosquitoes, born in its rivers and waterways which are brimming with life-leeching parasites. Here, monstrous beasts rip children from their beds and steal them away into the night.
