The adaptations of literary classics are currently a reading practice widespread in the school universe. The publishers catalogues of great circulation in the book market of our country present a vast panorama of the volume of this "editorial formula . This thesis, entitled Adaptation of literary classics: a history of reading in Brazil, having as theoretical reference authors who historicize the practices of reading and writing at various periods of history, as well as works that demonstrate the process of rewriting, demonstrates the existence of adjustment marks in Brazil, notably since the nineteenth century, when the country was culturally nourished by works from other places. This research not only makes visible the vital role developed by adaptations as a symbolic and historically constituted benefit and that is part of the cultural construction of Brazil, but also brings up the discussion of an object that is closely linked to the history of literature, reading, the reader and the book, in order to highlight the legitimate way of writing and reading. To restore, therefore, the historical background of this genre, is to show how their use and circulation remained today as a collection of reading and knowledge, responsible for presenting the vast legacy of universal poetry. In this perspective, the adaptation is conceived as a rewritten text, from a classic work called literary for a public that has no access to the "original" text. As such, the adapter must propose meaning to a cultural community from which the reader takes part of.
