Publisher:
Publishing Date: 2005-06-01
Features: This series of books adopts a unique publishing format: we publish the original ancient drama alongside its adapted versions 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 beautiful lines of the original play at your own pace. However, it must be emphasized that their relationship is not a simple contrast between written and colloquial forms. While the adaptations remain faithful to the original, they also reflect the author's interpretation and creativity, which can be considered a form of transformation. The original remains the original, but to facilitate children's reading, professionals specializing in writing have collated the version, proofread and annotated the original text.
