博客來In Horatio Alger’s classic, ＂Ben, the Luggage Boy, Or, Among the Wharves,＂ young Ben finds himself alone and struggling in the bustling wharves of a 19th-century city. Abandoned and forced to fend for himself, Ben displays remarkable resilience and an unwavering commitment to honesty. His journey is one of hard work, moral integrity, and the pursuit of a better life.
As Ben navigates the challenges of poverty and encounters both kindness and exploitation, he embodies the spirit of the classic ’rags to riches’ narrative that Alger is known for. Readers will be captivated by Ben’s determination to rise above his circumstances and carve out a future of respectability and success. A compelling tale of perseverance and moral fortitude, ＂Ben, the Luggage Boy＂ remains a testament to the enduring appeal of the American dream.
