Horatio Alger

    13 janvier 1832 – 18 juillet 1899

    Horatio Alger, Jr. fut un prolifique auteur américain du XIXe siècle, célèbre pour ses romans dépeignant l'ascension d'enfants démunis depuis des milieux modestes vers des vies respectables. Ses récits de garçons qui réussissent sous la tutelle de mentors plus âgés illustrèrent le Rêve Américain, en soulignant le travail acharné, le courage et la détermination. Alger est considéré comme une figure significative dans l'histoire des idéaux culturels et sociaux américains, son œuvre se concentrant sur les valeurs morales et la mobilité sociale ascendante.
