作者簡介
Anna Sewell (1820-78) was born in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. Black Beauty, her only book, was completed and published in 1877, just a few months before she died, so she did not live to know of the book's huge success. Apart from being a good story, Black Beauty was instrumental in changing people's attitudes towards horses, and domestic animals in general.
安娜·塞維爾於1820年齣生於英國諾福剋,於1878年去世。齣於對人類虐待動物的強烈不滿,她寫下瞭《黑駿馬》,以說服人們對馬仁慈一些。這是她身患重病的時候花瞭6年的時間寫的,也是她寫的唯一一本書。書齣版後不久她就去世瞭,從那時以來這本書銷售瞭3,000多萬本。她似乎天生就對馬有一種親切感,《黑駿馬》中涉及的大量的馬術知識,顯然齣自作者一生的體驗。安娜十四歲時落下瞭殘疾,從此拐杖就成瞭她行走時離不開的工具,但她仍然堅持自己駕馭由一匹矮種馬拉的馬車到處活動。她創作《黑駿馬》的最大願望就是引發人們的善心、同情心,使他們懂得該怎樣對待動物。
