Produktinformationen zu „Black Beauty (World Digital Library Edition) (PDF)“
One of the most beloved animal characters of all time comes to life in Black Beauty. Although originally dismissed as a trite children’s novel because it is written in the voice of a horse, the novel brings to consciousness the abuses endured by horses in late 1800s England. In fact, Anna Sewell’s effort to write a fantasy novel that would teach the proper treatment of horses ultimately led to its success when the Animal Humane Education Society founder George T. Angell promoted the novel in the United States. Even though the cruel practices Sewell wrote against were outmoded long ago – the bearing rein went out of style as a direct outcome of the novel popularity – the spirit that Beauty represents – gentleness, kindness and humanity – will never be outdated.
Autoren-Porträt von Anna Sewell
Anna Sewell was born in 1820 in Yarmouth, England, to Quaker parents, Isaac and Mary Wright Sewell. Mary had a tremendous impact on her two children by speaking out against cruelty towards animals and instructing them in horsemanship. After an accident that left Anna as a semi-invalid when she was twelve, Anna spent more time indoors helping her mother, who was developing a career as a children’s writer. Restrained from physical activity, Anna began writing Black Beauty, based on her brother Phillip’s horse. She sold the novel for a flat sum of twenty pounds to Jarrold and Sons Publishers, and it was published on November 24, 1877. She passed away three months later, without realizing it would go on to sell millions of copies world-wide, and that it would inspire sisters Christine, Diana, and Josephine Pullein-Thompson to write the sequels Black Beauty’s Kin and Black Beauty’s Family.
