SUMMARY:

Although Dom Quixote, by Miguel de Cervantes, written in the 17th century, was quickly translated into many languages, the first authorial translation into European Portuguese, the Monumental Edition carried out by Cia Literária do Porto, only occurred in the 19th century. Monteiro Lobato based his Don Quixote das Crianças on it, in the early 20th century, bringing the character to the Brazilian children's universe. This work was translated twice into Buenos Aires Spanish. The main objective of this work is to reconstruct the paths and strategies used by authors/translators in the works that make up the corpus of this investigation. The research is structured into three blocks that address, firstly, the subsidies necessary for its complete understanding. Among them there are the theoretical subsidies from Translation Studies such as the Polysystem Theory, developed by Itamar Even-Zohar, and Descriptive Translation Studies, represented by Gideon Toury. Literary subsides are also included, introducing Miguel de Cervantes and Dom Quixote de la Mancha, as well as the Monumental Edition and its translators: Viscount of Castilho, Viscount of Azevedo and Pinheiro Chagas. The second block deals with the social and political contexts in which the work was written and translated, introducing the author, translator, and editor Monteiro Lobato, the work under study, as well as its translators into Buenos Aires Spanish: Benjamín de Garay and M. J. de Sosa. The third and final block uses the translation analysis outline developed by Antoine Berman, combined with the analysis and description model of translations created by Lambert and Van Gorp, with the aim of identifying the position occupied by the works that make up the corpus of the research in the Brazilian and Argentine literary systems in the early 20th century. Understanding Monteiro Lobato's literary and translational thinking, as well as his translators’ ones, and the context in which Children's Don Quixote was produced and translated aims to contribute to the history of translation in Brazil, understand the conception at the time of the translator's role and the role of translated literature in shaping of Brazilian and Argentine literary systems. Furthermore, it highlights the relevance of Monteiro Lobato, not only as an author but also as a translator, editor, and promoter of Brazilian literature abroad.
