Alger, Horatio Facing the World Produced by Karen Fabrizius, Charles Franks and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team This HTML file produced by David Widger "Facing the World" by Horatio Alger, Jr. is a novel written in the late 19th century that tells the story of a young boy named Harry Vane, who faces numerous challenges following the death of his father. Left without family, he finds his new guardian, John Fox, to be both untrustworthy and miserly. As Harry navigates this difficult transition, he encounters adventure and learns valuable lessons about bravery, friendship, and integrity. At the start of the narrative, Harry receives a letter from his new guardian, John Fox, who seems to prioritize monetary concerns over familial affection. After a brief stay with a kind family friend, Harry decides to journey to live with Fox. However, he soon discovers that his guardian is not the benevolent figure he hoped for. Throughout the opening chapters, Harry faces both external threats, such as the risk of losing his money and the dishonest nature of his guardian, as well as internal struggles with feeling out of place. Ultimately, his fortune begins to shift after he saves a train from disaster, which leads to a series of events that will shape his journey ahead, hinting at the adventures and character growth to come.
