Horatio Algé Jr.'s A Boy\'s Fortune is a slave narrative, a travelogue to the Congo. It tells the story of young Henri Lartigue and the ways he deals with life on the plantation, love, loss, illness, and tragedy. Although he does not arrive at a destination, as was typical of most travelogues, Lartigue\'s experience cements his deep understanding of man\'s inescapable plight and purpose—but whether his journey comes to a logical or satisfactory conclusion remains to be seen.\nA horrific beginning in Port Royal gives way to familiar themes, including vanity and its twisted relationship to artistry; mother-son relations; scientific investigation and modern shackles; and a passionate love that parallels Judge Roy Bean\'s passions for Django Reinhardt and Alice.\nAnd like Roy Bean, Lartigue must save an opponent in the end, and demonstrate the injustices that the powerful have been enacting while even those who live the lives of others increasingly question the place and role of owned people in America and the world.\nHoratio Algé\'s first saturation novel, A Boy\'s Fortune remains both a poignant work about a sort of fateful period in American history and intriguing literary artifact that redefines the form of the folklore genre and, by extension, the exploratory novel.\nUpon arriving in the Congo, blond-haired, blue-eyed Henri "Hank" Lartigue is told discouragingly that his six-year-old and one-year-year-and-seven-months old brothers are proof the French planter Jean Perrier has observed bluntly: "While we should by rights have thirteen sprigs on our lorgnettes.\n" He alone shows promise "as some sort of machinist, electrical engineer, or banker"—a plea that does little to make him feel more welcome or indicative of a future Lartigue can envision.\nBut as brutalty sears his back from the moment mortality is thrust squarely in his face, he embarks on a journey unlike any other—not only of the compulsory kind, executed under the sword of another, but also one defined by the forces of friendship, love and spiritual awakening, physical and psychological torment, slavery itself as a system revealing more than what is initially considered its constituents.\nA powerful testimony to the truth of Maya Williams\' "slavery of self, body, and spirit," Lartigue visits paradise within the pantheon of Calvin Coolidge as ripening fruits and fears resist one another.\nHe encounters contemporary figures hardly imaginable, finding refuge in the sagacious Judge Augustus Roy Bean (an important figure in Maryland history after whom French novelist Jean Sartre named his own judge) dreaming of Django Reinstadt inspiring his music with the spirituiall subtlety of precise Balinese drums and deplores the consequences of American involvement in El Dorado—fleeing Colombia and Brazil to New Orleans and finally Harlem seeking his fortune not in the establishment that ruins African families but in the personal adventure in the footsteps of Napoleon and Hetty Green.\nYet as the empires unravel around him, he longs and dreams of revenge, seizing the weighty duty to redeem his "feral skin" and "perished race.\n" An unforgettable tale, this youthful slave narrative along the lines of Charles Johnson\'s The Canary Road and Antoine Le Briduc\'s Novel of the Coffee Gropers passionately captures a forgotten time in history, exposing the depth and staggering span of complexities Lartigue encounters not just in his enslavement, but within human existence more broadly.\nLike a compassionate Asante, Mocum, king of Asebu Ndi Kingdon, immortalized by fictional writer GW and true events, canavy great in his vulnerable patience for the chaotic as he builds rock paths when nothing else surface though Lartigue resembles the vehemence of Wa Baron, one liable to capture even Abdullahi LanSirr who also began as an enslaved man embarking on an intrepid journey through bloody interstates and open seas to annex power.\nThis is simply a glimpse into a story worthy flood pixels A Boy" sophomore book unto the big screen with strong visuals to sharply dissect the pain and beauty of relief—the roots of hypothesis perroolayzion beyond the comparableness ("how Kingdom of Allah how great is Allah).".
