Sinopse

In "A Boy's Fortune; Or, The Strange Adventures of Ben Baker," Horatio Alger Jr. masterfully weaves a tale that embodies the quintessential themes of American optimism and the transformative power of hard work and perseverance. Set against the backdrop of 19th century America, the narrative follows young Ben Baker as he navigates a series of trials and tribulations, showcasing Alger'Äôs signature narrative style that blends adventure with moral lessons. The novel encapsulates the ethos of the era, reflecting the belief in meritocracy and the pursuit of the American Dream, while employing a straightforward yet engaging prose that appeals to both young readers and adults alike. Horatio Alger Jr. was a prolific author whose works largely focused on the rags-to-riches motif, influenced by his own experiences as a clergyman and his observations of societal struggles. His background during the post-Civil War period, a time of great change and opportunity in America, informed his writing. Alger understood the aspirations of young boys seeking to improve their lot in life, and through Ben Baker, he offers readers an emblematic journey of hope and ambition.

    The Voice In The Night by William Hope Hodgson 
    It was a dark, starless night. We were becalmed in the Northern Pacific. Our exact position I do not know; for the sun had been hidden during the course of a weary, breathless week, by a thin haze which had seemed to float above us, about the height of our mastheads, at whiles descending and shrouding the surrounding sea. 
    With there being no wind, we had steadied the tiller, and I was the only man on deck. The crew, consisting of two men and a boy, were sleeping forward in their den, while Will-my friend, and the master of our little craft-was aft in his bunk on the port side of the little cabin. 
    Suddenly, from out of the surrounding darkness, there came a hail: “Schooner, ahoy!” 
    The cry was so unexpected that I gave no immediate answer, because of my surprise. 
    It came again-a voice curiously throaty and inhuman, calling from somewhere upon the dark sea away on our port broadside: 
    “Schooner, ahoy!” 
    “Hullo!” I sung out, having gathered my wits somewhat. “What are you? What do you want?”
