Sewell, Anna: Black Beauty Roman, ANACONDA, 031 ISBN: 3866476140
Nach einer behüteten Jugend führt der schwarze, stattliche Hengst Black Beauty in der liebevollen Umgebung eines Gutshofs das Leben eines Reit- und Kutschpferdes. Eines Tages jedoch muss sein Besitzer ihn aus Geldnot verkaufen und Black Beauty gerät in die Fänge skrupelloser und egoistischer Menschen. Ein Ende seiner grausamen Leidenszeit scheint schon nicht mehr in Sicht, da nimmt ein kleiner Junge sich seiner an und sein Leben eine Wende. Mit ihrem aufrüttelnden Tierroman Black Beauty schuf die englische Schriftstellerin Anna Sewell 1877 das große Vorbild aller modernen Pferdegeschichten - ein Muss!

Taschenbuch. Umschlag etwas berieben. Kanten etwas bestoßen. Leseknicke am Buchrücken. Seiten etwas nachgedunkelt. Sonst altersgemäß gute Erhaltung. b134 A horse is a horse of course, unless of course the horse is Black Beauty. Animal-loving children have been devoted to Black Beauty throughout this century, and no doubt will continue through the next. Although Anna Sewell s classic paints a clear picture of turn-of-the-century London, its message is universal and timeless: animals will serve humans well if they are treated with consideration and kindness. Black Beauty tells the story of the horse s own long and varied life, from a well-born colt in a pleasant meadow to an elegant carriage horse for a gentleman to a painfully overworked cab horse. Throughout, Sewell rails--in a gentle, 19th-century manner--against animal maltreatment. Young readers will follow Black Beauty s fortunes, good and bad, with gentle masters as well as cruel. Children can easily make the leap from horse-human,

Anna Sewell: Black Beauty, OXFORD CHILDREN'S & EDUCATION, März 2008 ISBN: 0192727982
One of the first and still one of the best-loved animal stories, Black Beauty was first published in 1877, just a few months before author Anna Sewell's death. Told in the first person, it is the autobiography of a horse, narrated by Black Beauty himself. From his simple beginnings under the shady trees in the meadow, Black Beauty's life takes many twists and turns--from a riding horse on a country estate to a cruelly mistreated cab horse on the busy streets of London, to his final years in happy retirement in the country. Black Beauty has many owners, some of whom treat him badly, but throughout it all he keeps his sweet temper and fine spirit.
