Black Beauty
Σχετικά με το ebook
Written towards the end of her life, Black Beauty reflected author Anna Sewell’s close bond with horses, and her desire to raise awareness about the ethical treatment of animals, particularly working animals, and Sewell’s sympathetic portrayal of Black Beauty broke new literary ground. Black Beauty has been adapted many times for film, television, and theatre, and the novel has served as inspiration for other animal-related stories, such as Beautiful Joe, the 1893 novel about a dog written in much the same fashion as Black Beauty. Though Sewell passed away just five months after her novel was published, she lived long enough to see her novel become a runaway success.
