This series of books adopts a unique publishing format: we publish the original ancient drama alongside its contemporary adaptations into novels or what can be called stories. In one book, you can enjoy the thrilling ups and downs of the dramatic story as well as savor the elegant lines of the original drama at your own pace. However, it must be emphasized that their relationship is not a simple contrast between literary and colloquial styles. While the adaptations remain faithful to the original, they also reflect the author's interpretation and creativity, which can be considered a transformation. The original remains the original, but for the convenience of children's reading, it has been meticulously edited by professional literary experts, with annotations and explanations added to the text.
