Black Beauty Young Folks' Edition - A Sentimental Journey Through the Eyes of a Noble Horse

Anna Sewell

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Black Beauty, Young Folks' Edition," Anna Sewell employs a first-person narrative style that uniquely immerses readers in the emotional and physical experiences of a horse. This poignant work serves not only as a compelling tale of Black Beauty'Äôs tumultuous life'Äîfrom a well-cared-for stallion to suffering under human cruelty'Äîbut also as a broader commentary on the treatment of animals in Victorian society. The literary context of the novel can be traced back to the rising humane movements of the late 19th century, as Sewell sought to awaken compassion and awareness among her readers about animal welfare through a narrative that is both accessible and engaging for the younger audience. Anna Sewell, born in 1820, had a lifelong affection for animals, which was intensified by her own experiences with cruelty and disability. Her passion for animal rights led her to write this seminal work, which she hoped would inspire empathy and reform among her peers. Unfortunately, Sewell passed away shortly after its publication, but her legacy endures in the powerful advocacy embedded in her storytelling. "Black Beauty, Young Folks' Edition" is highly recommended for readers of all ages who seek to deepen their understanding of compassion and ethics regarding the treatment of animals. This timeless classic not only entertains but also serves as a vital educational tool, inviting young readers to reflect on their responsibilities toward all living beings.
