Sinopse

In "Adrift in New York: Tom and Florence Braving the World," Horatio Alger crafts a compelling narrative that epitomizes the challenges faced by young individuals seeking success in the bustling environment of late 19th-century New York City. Through the intertwined experiences of Tom and Florence, Alger explores themes of resilience, ambition, and the American Dream against a backdrop of vivid urban landscapes and social stratification. The novel's straightforward prose and optimistic tone reflect the characteristics of Victorian literature, while its focus on youth and moral development aligns with the social realism movement of the time, exposing both the opportunities and difficulties of urban life. Horatio Alger Jr., renowned for his rags-to-riches tales, was deeply influenced by his own experiences amid a rapidly industrializing America. Growing up in a time when social mobility was a prevalent topic, Alger was determined to motivate young readers to persevere in the face of adversity. His interest in helping the impoverished and promoting a strong work ethic resonated through the lives of his characters, allowing youth to envision achievable success despite societal barriers. This novel is a must-read for those interested in American literary history or examining the interplay between societal expectations and personal ambition. Alger's portrayal of youthful determination amid urban challenges provides not only entertainment but also valuable life lessons, making it an essential addition to the literature on the pursuit of the American Dream.

Black Beauty: His Grooms and Companions, the Autobiography of a Horse is an 1877 novel by English author Anna Sewell. It was composed in the last years of her life, during which she was bedridden and seriously ill. The novel became an immediate best-seller, with Sewell dying just five months after its publication, but having lived long enough to see her only novel become a success. With fifty million copies sold, Black Beauty is one of the best-selling books of all time.
While forthrightly teaching animal welfare, it also teaches how to treat people with kindness, sympathy, and respect. In 2003, the novel was listed at number 58 on the BBC's survey The Big Read. It is seen as a forerunner of the pony book.
