Black Beauty / Anna Sewell - vi, 214 pages ; 16 cm. - Penguin Popular Classics .
"Black Beauty" is the most universally known classic of animal rights literature. Published in 1877, it became a cross-Atlantic bestseller, appearing a few years later with the subtitle ¡Uncle Tom's Horse Cabin? Sold from one master to another, Black Beauty narrates his story from his position as a direct witness of the cruelties suffered by him and his congeners, in order to denounce many of the social, political and economic scourges of England at the end of the 19th century. Hence, this equine animalography becomes an allegory of the subjugation of various voiceless sectors of Victorian society, especially the working classes, and demands an awareness of the readers.
