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

說故事的是這匹馬。黑駿馬是一匹年輕的黑馬,在一片寬廣的草地上長大,草地旁有一汪清澈的池塘。有一天,媽媽給了牠一個牠永遠不會忘記的忠告。

The world of the book

馬的時代。那時還沒有汽車。馬拉著馬車、農場的貨車,甚至城裡的公共馬車。黑駿馬起初生活在鄉間的大莊園裡,後來在倫敦街頭拉出租馬車,穿梭在喧囂和人群之中。
