Black Beauty - Unabridged
ByPublisher Description
"Black Beauty" by Anna Sewell - subtitled "The Autobiography of a Horse" - is one of the most beloved classics of 19th-century literature. Told from the perspective of the horse himself, the novel traces his life from a carefree colt on an English farm to the hardships he endures under various owners.
Through Beauty's eyes, readers witness both kindness and cruelty in the human world. He experiences gentle care from good masters like Farmer Grey and Squire Gordon, but also suffering under neglectful and abusive owners. Along his journey, Beauty meets other horses-such as the spirited Ginger and the loyal Merrylegs-whose stories reveal the harsh realities of animal labor in Victorian England.
Sewell's novel - the only book she would ever pen - not only tells a touching and inspiring story but also serves as a powerful call for empathy and reform in the way humans treat working animals.
"Black Beauty" has been adapted for the screen numerous times and is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
