Absolutely! Here's a revised version of the announcement:
Attention all book lovers! We are excited to announce the upcoming release of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes Modern English Version, a new translation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic detective stories. This modern translation is set to be released by the end of April, and we can't wait for you to experience these beloved stories in a new and accessible way.
The original language of these stories can be difficult for modern readers to understand, with references that may have been apparent to the culture and time it was written in, but to a modern reader, they would miss the nuance. For example, in one of the Sherlock Holmes stories, there is a reference to the "pink paper," which is an actual newspaper. Specifically, the "pink paper" is a nickname for the Sporting Times, a British newspaper that was popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The paper was called the "pink 'un" due to its distinctive pink paper, and it was well-known for its coverage of sports such as horse racing and boxing. This is just one of the many cultural references that can make the original language of these stories challenging for modern readers to fully appreciate.
But with this modern translation, all readers can easily understand and appreciate the richness and complexity of the original stories. Created by Harvest Research, this new translation preserves the original context and spirit of the stories while making them accessible to modern readers. The translation uses a modern version of an eloquent literary language that can be easily read and understood. This ensures that readers can fully appreciate the depth and complexity of these classic detective stories.
