«Ragged Dick and Struggling Upward» is the volume of two novels by Horatio Alger Jr., published by Penguin Classics in paperback (304 pages, in English).
Two nineteenth-century novels about poor boys who succeed through honesty and effort. In «Ragged Dick», a shrewd and honest New York bootblack tries to escape poverty; «Struggling Upward» repeats the formula with another young man who rises through his conduct. Both champion optimism and hard work in the face of adversity.
Carl Bode edits and introduces the volume; it was published in 1985.
Suitable for readers of classic American fiction and coming-of-age novels; also appears on school reading lists.
