This thesis aims at analyzing the Brazilian TV series A Pedra d O Reino (2007), produced by Rede Globo and Academia de Filmes and directed by Luiz Fernando Carvalho, in relation to the novel that originated it, Romance d A Pedra do Reino e o príncipe do sangue do vai-e-volta (1971), by Brazilian writer Ariano Suassuna. Carvalho conceived the series as a way to honor Suassuna on his 80th birthday, to be celebrated on the day the last chapter was broadcasted, June sixteenth, 2007. Therefore, in spite of being free to change whatever he considered necessary in the novel in order to transform it into a TV series, he chose to keep the essence and the main aspects of the original text as he also dialogued openly and expressively with other texts and speech genres. For this reason, the theoretical framework we have chosen to work with is one about transtextuality: Gérard Genette s Palimpsestes: la littérature au second degré (1982), which explains and exemplifies the ways in which dialogs with other texts and/or genres can happen. However, because our corpus is a television adaptation of literature, the type of transtextuality examined by us more carefully is hypertextuality, along with the issue of the formal transpositions made by Carvalho: concision, excision, thematic extension and intramodal transmodalization. We are going to analyze transtextuality in the novel and in the TV series as we explain the effects of meaning created by the dialogs that appear in them. We are also going to study the composition of some scenes in both productions in order to find out what resources each author uses to express their own ideas, which might or not be similar to one another, especially when it comes to the construction of the character Sinésio, who is the narrator s cousin and nephew and is shown as ambiguous. On the one hand, Sinésio is considered a messiah by the narrator and the poor people from the outback of the Brazilian state of Paraíba, who compare him to the Portuguese king Dom Sebastião and to Jesus Christ; on the other hand, he is seen as a dangerous fraud by the rich local people, who believe him to try to fool the poor in order to drag them into taking part in the Communist Revolution under the direction of Luís Carlos Prestes.
