Resumen:
This dissertation aims to understand why the young do not like reading classical
literature and elaborates an approach on the importance of reading for the liberation
of human beings. In this way, the author brings back memories of the journey of
learning of reading and experience reports as educator. This text was built guided by
authors who write about the respective topic. It sought to delineate the peculiarities
about some books and teaching practices of the author and colleagues in a funny
way, as well as some impressions of students in relation to the proposals of readings.
The research methodology was the use of private records collected from
observations and experiences, redeemed by memory during the production of this
text. With this study, we hope to contribute to the reflections that involve the reading
of the literary text, specially the classics, toward the advancing of the process of
formation of the literary reader in school. However, it is not intended to present
something new with these reflections, but to provoke new perspectives on the issue.
