Description
1903 BLACK BEAUTY Anna Sewell Horses Equestrian Illustrated Classic Animal Rights
“Black Beauty” by Anna Sewell is an enduring classic that paints a vivid picture of a horses life in Victorian England, narrated in first-person by Black Beauty himself. The novel takes readers on a journey from Black Beautys peaceful beginnings as a foal on a farm, through a life of labor and hardship in London, to a tranquil retirement in the countryside. Throughout the narrative, we encounter stories of both cruelty and kindness, with each chapter offering moral lessons about compassion, empathy, and the humane treatment of animals. One of the novels most notable contributions is its realistic depiction of the hardships faced by horse-drawn cab drivers in London, and its impact on advocating for better working conditions for them. The book, written during Sewells last years and becoming a best-seller, is now recognized as one of the best-selling novels of all time.
