There's a difference betweeen a modern literary adaption of a classic novel or a classic theme (a very well done example), an easy-to-read adaption for people that can't understand the original version, and a paradoy like this:

I'm not sure if we're talking about the first or the second form of adaption here. Does this intend to be modern literature, or is this just a new form of an "abridged version", maybe transferend into modern days?
