Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Anna Sewell's Black Beauty is a landmark of Victorian animal literature, framed as the 'autobiography' of a horse whose changing fortunes expose the moral failures and occasional kindnesses of human society. Written in clear, restrained prose, the novel combines sentimental realism with reformist purpose, using Black Beauty's first-person voice to make cruelty, class hierarchy, urban labor, and the ethics of ownership vividly immediate. Its literary context lies in nineteenth-century social-problem fiction, yet its innovation is to grant moral authority to a nonhuman narrator. Sewell's own life deeply informs the book's humane vision. Born in 1820 into a devout Quaker family, she developed a strong ethical sensitivity to suffering and reform. A childhood injury left her with limited mobility, making her reliant on horse-drawn transport and unusually attentive to the treatment of horses. Black Beauty, her only novel, was written late in life and published shortly before her death in 1878. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in Victorian literature, animal studies, ethical storytelling, and the origins of modern animal-welfare consciousness. It remains moving because its simplicity is never naïve: Sewell turns compassion into a disciplined moral argument. 132 pp. Englisch.…
