Horatio Alger, Jr. (1832-1899) was the son of a minister, a top graduate of Harvard, and a great admirer of Benjamin Franklin and the virtues of industry, frugality, and temperance that Franklin advocated. Alger’s mission was to write exciting stories for young adults which showed that the virtues of study, work, thrift, temperance, honesty, generosity, and bravery lead to prosperity, while vice results in ruin.
Alger’s stories have inspired millions. According to Wikipedia’s “List of best-selling fiction authors”, Alger is one of the best-selling authors, not just in U.S. history but in world history. Alger wrote over 100 thrilling, full-length, “rags-to-riches” novels exemplifying virtue and vice in the struggle to escape poverty.
Alger’s audiobooks provide an easy way to adopt habits that promote prosperity. Alger promotes virtue, not with boring sermons, but with thrilling stories of struggle, conflict, and adversity. Young adults and not-so-young adults might benefit from listening and adopting the virtues that Franklin and Alger advocate. Narrated and slightly edited for readability and current norms by Christopher Crennen.
