Nové vydanie klasického príbehu s nádhernými ilustráciami ponúka čarovný pohľad na život statočného koňa vo viktoriánskej Británii, ktorý zaujal generácie čitateľov. Vydajte sa na cestu časom a spoznajte svet očami Čierneho krásavca, ktorý prežíva radosti a strasti koní v 19. storočí. Rozprávanie je rovnako svieže ako v roku 1877, keď sa prvýkrát dostalo do rúk čitateľov. Zoznámte sa so súcitnými hrdinami a bezcitnými ničomníkmi, ktorých Krásavec stretol, a vžite sa do pocitov koňa – cválať po mäkkej tráve a počuť láskyplné slová v ťažkých časoch. Tento príbeh vo vás zostane navždy. Anna Sewell, autorka, sa narodila v roku 1820 a po vážnom zranení sa stala celoživotnou milovníčkou koní. Jej snaha dotknúť sa sŕdc ľudí a zmeniť ich pohľad na blaho zvierat ju viedla k napísaniu tohto diela. Zomrela len niekoľko mesiacov po jeho vydaní a nikdy sa nedozvedela o jeho úspechu, ktorý pomohol pri vzniku prvých zákonov na ochranu zvierat. Dnes je Čierny krásavec najobľúbenejším príbehom o zvieratách s odhadovanými päťdesiatimi miliónmi predanými výtlačkami po celom svete. Christian Birmingham, uznávaný ilustrátor, s vášňou kreslí kone a jeho ilustrácie obohacujú tento klasický príbeh. Pre čitateľov od 10 rokov.

Pôsobivý obraz temného zločineckého podsvetia Londýna, príbeh sleduje Oliviera Twista, sirotu, ktorý čelí zlu a nepriazni od svojho narodenia, čo šokovalo čitateľov pri jeho vydaní. Po úteku z práce a pompézneho pána Bumblea sa Oliver dostáva do zločineckej skupiny plnej živých postáv, ako sú prefíkaný Dodger, brutálny zlodej Bill Sikes, jeho pes Bull's Eye a prostitútka Nancy, všetci pod dohľadom majstra zlodeja Fagina. Kombinujúc gotický román, prvky novely z Newgate a populárnu melodrámu, Dickens vytvoril nový druh fikcie, ktorý kritizuje krutú spoločnosť, preniknutú pocitom ohrozenia a tajomstva. Príbeh je prepracovanou kritikou spoločenských pomerov a zobrazuje ťažkosti, ktorým čelí chudoba a bezprávie.
