Nach einer behüteten Jugend führt der schwarze, stattliche Hengst Black Beauty in der liebevollen Umgebung eines Gutshofs das Leben eines Reit- und Kutschpferdes. Eines Tages jedoch muss sein Besitzer ihn aus Geldnot verkaufen und Black Beauty gerät in die Fänge skrupelloser und egoistischer Menschen. Ein Ende seiner grausamen Leidenszeit scheint schon nicht mehr in Sicht, da nimmt ein kleiner Junge sich seiner an und sein Leben eine Wende. Mit ihrem aufrüttelnden Tierroman »Black Beauty« schuf die englische Schriftstellerin Anna Sewell 1877 das große Vorbild aller modernen Pferdegeschichten – ein Muss!
One of the most beloved adventure stories of all time, "Treasure Island" is a swashbuckling tale of the search for hidden treasure. When an old sea captain named Billy Bones dies at the Admiral Benbow Inn on the west coast of England during the mid-1700s, Jim Hawkins, the innkeeper's son, and his mother discover a treasure map among his belongings. Jim shows the map to local acquaintances, Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney, and together they plan an expedition to find the treasure. They set sail aboard the "Hispaniola," led by Captain Smollett, in search of Treasure Island. Among the crew are former pirates, who are led to mutiny by "Long John" Silver, a one-legged tavern-keeper hired as the ship's cook. Written in the late 19th century, Robert Louis Stevenson's "Treasure Island" dramatically depicts maritime life, rich with its perils, in an adventure that investigates the nature of good and evil itself.
