Works of classic literature have often attracted the attention of adaptors, particularly in the field of children and youth culture. Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets are no exception. There have been both many Shakespeare adaptations intended for young people and studies on these adaptations. However, not much attention has been paid to Czech Shakespeare adaptations for children and young adults. This article explores the various ways young Czech adults can encounter Shakespeare’s plays. It focuses primarily on Czech Shakespeare adaptations intended for children and young adults. It examines a range of reworkings such as abridged Czech versions, stage productions for teenagers and puppet performances which are (in some cases) discussed in the context of the British Shakespeare aimed at a juvenile audience

With an eye to the visibly growing predilection for imagining humanity under siege in a rather disquietingly vulnerable state since Hiroshima’s trauma up until the contemporary times, the present paper attempts to examine Nathaniel Rich’s Odds Against Tomorrow (2013) through an ecological lens that takes fear as its central thematic concern with connection to the perception of (eco-)apocalypse. Ecological thinking, whether fictional or factual, seems to have been closely linked to the narratives of the future with an underlying Cassandran foreboding spirit. The narrativization of proleptically apocalyptic visions of human civilization, though drenched in fear and anxiety, essentially serves a survival-enhancing purpose. However, the over-zealous embrace of the catastrophic end-of-times prophecies seems paradoxically to have an adverse effect trapping us in a web of fear-induced paralysis, desensitization through repetitive exposure, and vulnerable susceptibility towards opportunistic maneuverings. Odds Against Tomorrow, dealing with the most common apocalyptic fears of the contemporary age, grapples profoundly with the wisdom (or lack thereof) of a culture alarmingly drenched in fear and acutely obsessed with risk-aversion.
从广岛的创伤到当代，人们越来越倾向于想象人类处于一种相当令人不安的脆弱状态，本文试图通过生态视角来审视纳撒尼尔·里奇(Nathaniel Rich)的《明天的可能性》(Odds Against Tomorrow, 2013)，该视角将恐惧作为其与(生态)启示录感知相关的中心主题。生态思维，无论是虚构的还是真实的，似乎都与对未来的叙述密切相关，并带有一种潜在的Cassandran预感精神。对人类文明的预言式末世图景的叙述，虽然浸透着恐惧和焦虑，但本质上是为了增强生存能力。然而，过度狂热地拥抱灾难性的末日预言似乎自相矛盾地产生了不利影响，使我们陷入恐惧导致的瘫痪，通过反复暴露而脱敏，以及对机会主义操纵的脆弱易感性的网络中。《反对明天的赔率》处理了当代最常见的世界末日恐惧，深刻地探讨了一个充满恐惧和极度厌恶风险的文化的智慧(或缺乏智慧)。
