Anna Sewell
Black Beauty tells the story of the horse's own long and varied life, from a well-born colt in a pleasant meadow to an elegant carriage horse for a gentleman to a painfully overworked cab horse. Throughout, Sewell rails-in a gentle, 19th-century way-against animal maltreatment. Young readers will follow Black Beauty's fortunes, good and bad, with gentle masters as well as cruel. Children can easily make the leap from horse-human relationships to human-human relationships, and begin to understand how their own consideration of others may be a benefit to all.
书虫听过缩减版,这回听的应该是完全版,只能再次感叹马生维艰,尤其是毫无自主性的驯养马,最终给了happy ending已经是作者莫大的善意了。。然后顺便去了解了下作者,也是悲伤的人生故事啊唉。。
