Anna Sewell was a woman of profound compassion, whose lifelong love for horses and desire for their better treatment resulted in the most celebrated animal story of the nineteenth century. Raised in a strict Quaker family, she was instilled with values of self-reliance, moral responsibility, and 'tender consideration for the Creatures of God.' Her work, penned amidst chronic health struggles, stands as a masterful narrative told from a horse's perspective. This poignant tale not only highlights the cruelty of ownership but also celebrates the resilient spirit of animals, underscoring the importance of kindness and understanding in the human-animal bond.

We are presenting this edition as a part of the selected Christmas specials and classics published for this joyful and charming holiday season, for all those who want to keep the spirit of Christmas alive with a heartwarming tale. The story is narrated in the first person as an autobiographical memoir told by the titular horse named Black Beauty-beginning with his carefree days as a colt on an English farm with his mother, to his difficult life pulling cabs in London, to his happy retirement in the country. Along the way, he meets with many hardships and recounts many tales of cruelty and kindness. Each chapter recounts an incident in Black Beauty's life containing a lesson or moral typically related to the kindness, sympathy, and understanding treatment of horses, with Sewell's detailed observations and extensive descriptions of horse behaviour lending the novel a good deal of verisimilitude. While forthrightly teaching animal welfare, it also teaches how to treat people with kindness, sympathy, and respect.
The story follows a young horse from his joyful beginnings on an English farm to the harsh realities of life as a cab horse in London. Through his experiences, he encounters both cruelty and kindness, sharing poignant tales that highlight the treatment of horses and the complexities of human-animal relationships.

Viele Leser:innen sind mit Kindergeschichten über den schwarzen Hengst Black Beauty großgeworden – dabei richtet sich der Originaltext von Anna Sewell an Erwachsene. 1877 veröffentlichte die engagierte Tierschützerin ihren Roman und machte sogleich mit einer neuen Idee Furore: Erstmals erzählt ein Tier darin seine eigene Lebensgeschichte – die Autobiographie eines Pferdes eben. Ein großer Roman über Ausbeutung und Ungerechtigkeit, aber auch die Kraft der Freundschaft.
Anna Sewell (1820-1878): İngiltere'de Norfolk kentinin, Great Yarmouth kasabasında doğdu. İki yaşındayken Londra'ya taşınan ailesi onu başkalarını düşünmeyi, herkese nezaket ve saygı göstermeyi ilke edinen Quaker geleneğine uygun yetiştirdi. On dört yaşında bir kas hastalığına yakalanarak kısmen yatalak oldu. Geri kalan yaşamında seyahat edebilmek için küçük iki tekerlekli arabasını çeken ata bağımlı oldu. Bir atın otobiyografisi olarak kurguladığı tek kitabı Siyah İnci'yi, hastalığının ölümcül olduğunu öğrendikten sonra, son beş yılında yazdı. Kitabın esin kaynağı, hayvanlara eziyet edilmesine, özellikle de koşum atlarına sabit mengene kayışı takılmasına duyduğu büyük öfkeydi. Amacının, "insanları atlara şefkat ve sevgi göstermeye, anlayışlı davranmaya teşvik etmek" olduğunu yazmıştı. Sewell'ın ölümünden birkaç ay önce yayımlandığında büyük ilgi gören Siyah İnci, tüm zamanların en çok okunan klasiklerinden biridir.
Büyük bir çiftlikte doğan Siyah İnci çok akıllı bir taydı. İyi kalpli sahipleri tarafından güzel bir ortamda büyütüldü ve iyi huylu bir at oldu. Ancak bir gün başkasına satıldı ve insanların hayvanlara karşı ne kadar kötü davranabileceğini öğrendi. Kiralık at olarak, ata binmeyi hiç bilmeyen antrenmansız insanlara katlanmak; fayton ve yük atı olarak çok ağır yükler çekmek zorunda kaldı. Ama her seferinde karşısına hayvanları seven iyi kalpli insanlar da çıktı.Yayınlandığı günden beri en sevilen hayvan öykülerinden biri olan Siyah İnci'de, bu harika atın maceraları kendi ağzından anlatılıyor.
