33、venient offer for tourists who care about their budget Welcome to my Message Board!Subject: Slimming down classics? Mr. Handsome 2013-5-12 8:24 a.m. Orion Books, which decides there is a market in creating cut-down classics, is slimming down some novels by such great writers as L.Tolstoy, M. Mitchel

34、l and C. Bronte. Now, each of them has been whittled (削减) down to about 400 pages by cutting 30 to 40 per cent of the original, with words, sentences, paragraphs and, in a few cases, chapters removed. The first six shortened editions, all priced at 6.99 and advertised as great reads in half the time

35、, will go on sale next month, with plans for 50 to 100 more to follow. The publishing house believes that modern readers will welcome the shorter versions. Mr Edwards 2013-5-12 9:40 a.m. Well, Im publisher of Orion Group. Thanks for your attention, Mr. Handsome. I must say, the idea developed from a

36、 game of shame in my office. Each of us was required to confess to the most embarrassing blanks in his or her reading.

Im guilty of never having read Anna Karenina, because its just so long. Id much rather read two 300-page books than one 600-page book. I am looking

39、 forward to more shortened classics! Mr. Crockatt 2013-5-12 4:38 p.m. Im from the London independent bookshop Crockatt Powell. In my opinion, the practice is completely ridiculous. How can you edit the classics? Im afraid reading some of these books is hard work, and that is why you have to develop

40、as a reader. If people dont have time to read Anna Karenina, then fine. But dont read a shortened version and kid yourself its the real thing.15.
