Аннотация
HarperCollins is proud to present a range of best-loved, essential classics.'…we call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words.'When his beloved owners are forced to sell him, Black Beauty leaves his life as a young, care-free colt behind him and embarks on a working life of misery. Cruelly treated by his new masters, Anna Sewell rails against animal mistreatment in this poignant tale of a horse whose spirit can not be broken.
Аннотация
A level 4 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Retold for Learners of English by John Escott.
When Black Beauty is trained to carry a rider on his back, or to pull a carriage behind him, he finds it hard at first. But he is lucky – his first home is a good one, where his owners are kind people, who would never be cruel to a horse.
But in the nineteenth century many people were cruel to their horses, whipping them and beating them, and using them like machines until they dropped dead. Black Beauty soon finds this out, and as he describes his life, he has many terrible stories to tell.
