Abstract :
The world of literature as we know it is no more, it appears. There´s no longer a need to struggle with moral complexities and outdated language of ´Hamlet´, bumping along the tricky hexameters of ´The Iliad´ or propping the porch door open with ´War and Peace´. From now on, all the world´s greatest books can be retold in snippets of no more than 140 characters.
