A classic tale with beautiful illustrations offers a magical glimpse into the life of a brave horse in Victorian Britain, captivating generations of readers. Journey through time and experience the world from the perspective of Black Beauty, who endures the joys and sorrows of horses in the 19th century. The narrative remains as fresh as it was in 1877 when it first reached readers. Meet compassionate heroes and callous villains that Beauty encounters, and immerse yourself in the feelings of a horse—galloping through soft grass and hearing loving words in difficult times. This story will stay with you forever. The author, Anna Sewell, born in 1820, became a lifelong lover of horses after a serious injury. Her desire to touch hearts and change perspectives on animal welfare led her to write this work. She passed away just months after its publication and never learned of its success, which contributed to the establishment of the first animal protection laws. Today, Black Beauty is the most beloved animal story, with an estimated fifty million copies sold worldwide.
Black Beauty, Anna Sewell
Asi jedna z nejzásadnějších knih mého dětství :) krásný životopis zvířete původně určen pro lidi pracující okolo koní , přesto však příběh o životní cestě jednoho koně od hříběte až do stáří zasáhl plno dětských duší po celém světě.
