Realizing that the target audience of adaptations of classical texts is not merely the child and adolescent – young readers, which supposedly are intended children’s and youth literature, I propose in this paper a new classification of literary adaptations, seeing not only as children’s and youth literature, but as “literature for young readers”. As these texts are also read by adults, for various purposes, I recognize that the concept covers a greater number of readers. To do so, it is made a brief historical-critical about the emergence of adaptations in the Brazilian literary scene in order to support and justify the suggested classification for the adaptations.
