This is a retelling. The story is still told—completely. You walk with the characters, feel what they feel, discover what they discover. The meaning arrives because you experienced it, not because someone explained a summary.
Read this, then read the original. The prose will illuminate—you'll notice what makes the author that author, because you're no longer fighting to follow the story.
Read the original first, then read this. Something will click. You'll want to go back.
Either way, the door opens inward.
