Book summary

Black Beauty, a handsome black horse, tells his own life story: his peaceful early days in a meadow, then his years of work for very different masters. Some care for him with affection, others treat him harshly, and each new home brings him a different life.

This moving novel, which changed the way a whole era saw animals, is about kindness, respect and dignity.

Written in simple words, it is an ideal classic to read in the language you are learning.

The plot

말이 직접 들려주는 이야기. 어린 흑마 블랙 뷰티는 맑은 연못이 있는 넓은 풀밭에서 자랍니다. 어느 날, 엄마는 블랙 뷰티에게 평생 잊지 못할 충고를 해 줍니다.

The world of the book

말의 시대. 아직 자동차가 없던 시절입니다. 말들이 마차와 농장의 짐수레, 심지어 도시의 합승 마차까지 끌었지요. 블랙 뷰티는 처음에 시골의 큰 영지에서 삽니다. 그 뒤로는 시끄럽고 붐비는 런던 거리에서 영업용 마차를 끌게 됩니다.
