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

讲故事的是这匹马。黑骏马是一匹年轻的黑马,在一片宽阔的草地上长大,草地旁有一汪清澈的池塘。一天,妈妈给了它一个它永远不会忘记的忠告。

The world of the book

马的时代。那时还没有汽车。马拉着马车、农场的货车,甚至城里的公共马车。黑骏马起初生活在乡间的大庄园里,后来在伦敦街头拉出租马车,穿行在喧嚣和人群之中。
