Based on the literary project of Alice s Adventures in Wonderland, written by Lewis Carroll (1865), this dissertation discusses the specific literary quality of that work, in its originality, logic and esthetic, recreated in Portuguese through the act of translation. The discussion embraces the confront translation versus adaptation of the original text, revisiting these two concepts in the light of works written by four Brazilian authors and translators Monteiro Lobato, Sebastião Uchoa Leite, Ana Maria Machado and Ruy Castro and their distinguished writings. Some theoristis and their particular points of view about the translation subject, such as Walter Benjamin, Haroldo de Campos, Roman Jakobson, Octavio Paz and Roland Barthes, among others, are applied to the sounding of the translated and adapted versions in Brazil of Carroll s innovative work, which take as a challenge to preserve the English author s language with its puns, nonsense and ludic propositions. Chapter I, entitled The translation and the adaptation, emphasizes the identity of these two concepts, apprehended in the literary frontier. It discusses, at the same time, the role of the translator and of the reader and the concept of poetic writing, in the crossing of a writing that reads other writing. The study intends to investigate the artistic nature of translation and adaptation, and how these two modes of creation of a new text can or not recue the literary quality of the original text. Chapter II focuses in the different transformations promoted in Alice s Adventures in Wonderland by two national authors, Monteiro Lobato e Sebastião Uchoa Leite. Basing on modernist theories about translation, the works of those two translators are approached as models in the history of translation of writings orientated to children in Brazil. Chapter III analyses the translations/adaptations of Ana Maria Machado and Ruy Castro, still in view of the same theories, conducting to the revision of the editorial market concept and, over all, of the addressing to the child reader. The three chapters make use of a methodology based in the proceedings of comparison, deductive counter-arguing and by the critical metalanguage proposed by the authors, translators and adaptators of their Alices, in the 20th century
