Features: Black Beauty is a classic children's novel that captivated European literary circles in the second half of the 19th century. The protagonist, Black Beauty, is a handsome and high-quality black horse, raised in a noble family since childhood, well-trained, and with a gentle, kind, intelligent, and clever temperament. The masters loved him very much. However, good times did not last long. A change of fortune occurred in the master's family, and Black Beauty had to be sold. He was sold multiple times and encountered various people: drunkards who took out their frustrations on horses, carriage drivers who frequently whipped them, barbarians who didn't care about animals, and kind families who treated animals as friends. He experienced all the joys and sorrows of life. Through his own eyes and with vivid language, Black Beauty tells a series of heartwarming stories, making every listener feel that animals have emotions and that how we treat them, they will treat us in return. Like all classic novels, Black Beauty has been a global sensation for over a century and has been adapted into films multiple times, remaining popular to this day.
