This present study consisted in the analysis and critical interpretation of the theatrical text What will I do with this Book?(1980), written by Portuguese writer José Saramago, being possible to establish a intertextual relation with the epic work Os Lusíadas (1572), by Luís de Camões.With this piece, Saramago proposes to his readers a vision of the historical and political moment of Portugal in the 16 th century, making possible to analyze the social, cultural and economical issues at the time.Among the issues, we studied the role of the censorship and of the editorial market for the Portuguese literature and the influence of the black plague in Lisbon inhabitants' life.Another point of analysis of this research was to identify how was the reception of the literary work Os Lusíadas in the society of that time, mainly due to the difficulties found by the main character Camões to obtain concession to publish it.The approach of the inquisitorial censorship (16 th century) with the dictatorial (of the 20 th century) in Portugal, was also an aspect of deepening of our survey.The research was structured in a bibliographical revision with the reading of works and texts which dealt with relevant matters to the theme.From a cutting of the piece we searched for some titles of the history, the theater and the Portuguese literature, besides the critical theory, relating with other works by Saramago.The analysis of the material of our research led us to consider that, besides the financial aspect, the censorship was one of the main difficulties faced by Camões.When we make a parallel with the 20 th century, we realize that the censorship also caused upsets for several writers and Portuguese playwrights.The characters that compose the piece are constituted of significant historical figures for the 19 th century Portuguese history, standing out Damião de Góis, Diogo do Couto and Priest Bartolomeu Ferreira, being present also in the protagonist's life.The rescue of the two figures considered as "myths" for the Portuguese was done in the characters of Camões and D. Sebastião, which presence we could verify in countless theatrical texts in the 20 th century.The character of Camões was composed in a way to present a humanized image, approximating him of the daily life and contributing, in a certain way, with the fulfillment of gaps in his imprecise biography.Finally, the dialogue between fiction and history allowed to accompany the rule of Saramago and his work in the historical, cultural and social context of Portugal, besides identifying the value of his writing in the dramatic gender
