Summary/Abstract: The book and the TV… Even the simple juxtaposition of these two symbolic entities has triggered multiple discussions and almost all the critiques and reviews have targeted the small screen: that it favors electronic reading, eliminating the fundamental books from the man’s short lifespan ... It is a big and, probably, unsolvable problem. Perhaps it is time to surpass the purist vision of culture, by approaching the book/TV rapport not as an exclusive relationship – one or the other, but as a form which allows alternatives – one and the other. In our age, when TV and new media have turned the cultural space upside down, literature, as a classical form of art, must diversify its strategies used in reaching the public, audiovisual channels included. The prologue of the study evokes a series of literary-artistic formulas through which the book universe appears in a number of audiovisual versions. What follows is the analysis of the possibilities which allow to capitalize the book in the TV series film. The last section is focused on a problem with many variables: is the TV series film a center of interest for the studious youth?
