Beschreibung

Anna Sewell's 'Black Beauty' is a classic novel that offers a poignant and compassionate look into the life of a horse as he navigates through various owners and experiences. Written in a straightforward and engaging narrative style, the book sheds light on the mistreatment of animals in the 19th century, making it a notable work of animal rights literature. Through the eyes of the titular character, readers are exposed to the harsh realities of life as a working horse, highlighting the importance of empathy and compassion. With its vivid descriptions and emotional depth, 'Black Beauty' remains a timeless masterpiece that continues to resonate with readers of all ages. Anna Sewell, a passionate advocate for animal welfare, drew inspiration from her own experiences and observations to craft 'Black Beauty'. Her intimate knowledge of horses and her desire to raise awareness about their treatment influenced the poignant and insightful portrayal of the protagonist's journey. Sewell's dedication to giving animals a voice shines through in this groundbreaking piece of literature. I highly recommend 'Black Beauty' to readers seeking a moving and thought-provoking read that delves into themes of compassion, empathy, and social justice. Sewell's timeless classic serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of treating all living beings with kindness and respect.

Autorenportrait

Anna Sewell (18201878) was an English novelist, best known for her classic work 'Black Beauty', one of the bestselling books of all time. Written between 1871 and 1877, during the last years of her life, the novel was published in 1877, just five months before Sewell's death. Being invalided from a young age due to an accident, Sewell spent much of her life depending on horse-drawn carriages for mobility, which engendered in her a deep sympathy for the mistreatment of horses. 'Black Beauty', with its original illustrations, became her first and only novel, yet it has had a profound impact on the welfare of horses and the genre of animal-autobiographical works. Written from the perspective of a horse, it shed light on the cruelty animals could face, pushing the animal welfare movement forward. Sewell's narrative style was innovative for its time, giving the animal a voice and perspective that spoke directly to the reader's sense of compassion. Though considered a children's novel, 'Black Beauty' transcends age, being both a compelling story and a treatise on kindness, empathy, and the proper care of animals. Sewell's literary contribution, though singular, remains a timeless and cherished piece of literature that continues to inspire improvements in animal welfare and captivate readers of all generations.

Informationen zu E-Books

„E-Book“ steht für digitales Buch. Um diese Art von Büchern lesen zu können wird entweder eine spezielle Software für Computer, Tablets und Smartphones oder ein E-Book Reader benötigt. Da viele verschiedene Formate (Dateien) für E-Books existieren, gilt es dabei, einiges zu beachten.
Von uns werden digitale Bücher in drei Formaten ausgeliefert. Die Formate sind EPUB mit DRM (Digital Rights Management), EPUB ohne DRM und PDF. Bei den Formaten PDF und EPUB ohne DRM müssen Sie lediglich prüfen, ob Ihr E-Book Reader kompatibel ist. Wenn ein Format mit DRM genutzt wird, besteht zusätzlich die Notwendigkeit, dass Sie einen kostenlosen Adobe® Digital Editions Account besitzen. Wenn Sie ein E-Book, das Adobe® Digital Editions benötigt herunterladen, erhalten Sie eine ASCM-Datei, die zu Digital Editions hinzugefügt und mit Ihrem Account verknüpft werden muss. Einige E-Book Reader (zum Beispiel PocketBook Touch) unterstützen auch das direkte Eingeben der Login-Daten des Adobe Accounts – somit können diese ASCM-Dateien direkt auf das betreffende Gerät kopiert werden.
Da E-Books nur für eine begrenzte Zeit – in der Regel 6 Monate – herunterladbar sind, sollten Sie stets eine Sicherheitskopie auf einem Dauerspeicher (Festplatte, USB-Stick oder CD) vorsehen. Auch ist die Menge der Downloads auf maximal 5 begrenzt.
