Riassunto

BLACK BEAUTY is an autobiography—a fictional one. Its “author” is a horse. Black Beauty relates the story of his life, from his early “breaking in” to pleasant experiences under somewhat kind owners to later harsh treatment as a working animal. Black Beauty wants the reader to know what it is really like to be a horse in a world dominated by human owners.As the result of a childhood injury, which left her unable to walk without pain, Anna Sewell developed a reliance on horses for transport. She also developed a great respect and sympathy for these so-often misused animals. BLACK BEAUTY, her only novel, was written during the final years of Sewell’s own life and published just five months before her death in 1878. It is listed among the twenty best-selling books of all time.It should be noted that BLACK BEAUTY was not intended necessarily for younger readers. The novel is included in the series “Classics for Young Adults” because of its traditionally strong readership among and appreciation by that age group.
