Subject: Slimming down classics?
Mr.Handsome
2007-5-12
Orion Books, which decides there is a market in creating cut-down
classics (经典著作), is slimming down some novels by such great writers as
L. Tolstoy, M. Mitchell and C. Bronte. Now, each of them has been whittled
6: 34 AM
down to about 400 pages by cutting 30 to 40 pages percent of 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”, 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

9: 40 AM
Well, I’m publisher of Orion Group. Thanks for your attention, Mr.
Handsome.
I must say, the idea developed from a game of “shame” in my office.
Each of us was required to confess (承认) to the most embarrassing blanks
in his or her reading. I admitted that I had never read Anna Karenina and
tried but failed to get through Gone with the Wind several times. One of my
colleagues acknowledged skipping (跳读) Jane Eyre. We realized that life is
too short to read all the books you want to and we never were going to read
these ones.
As a leading publishing house, we are trying to make classics
convenient for readers but it’s not as if we’re withdrawing the original
versions. They are still there if you want to read them.
Ms. Weir

I’m director of the online book club.
Mr. Edwards, I think your shortened edition is a breath of fresh air. I’m
guilty of never having read Anna Karenina, because it’s just so long. I’d
much rather read two 300-page books than one 600-page book. I am looking
forward to more shortened classics!
Mr.Crockatt
2007-5-12
4:38 PM
I’m from the London independent bookshop Corckatt & Powell.
In my opinion, the practice is completely ridiculous. How can you edit
the classics? I’m afraid reading some of these books is hard work, and that
is why you have to develop as a reader. If people don’t have time to read
Anna Karenina, then fine. But don’t read a shortened version and kid
yourself it’s the real thing.
