Abstract

Twilight, title of the work in its original context, is the first book in the saga of Stephenie Meyer. On its release in the United States, it sold millions of copies. The plot basically consists of the forbidden love between Isabella Swan, a normal girl, and Edward Cullen, a young vampire who, as soon as they met, already feel a very strong connection. The success was so great and intense that Twilight became a movie in 2008, achieving record box office, was translated into 37 languages, being considered the best book of the decade by the website Amazon.com, in addition to a variety of products released later. Considering the sales flow of the Twilight book, and the others that follow, it was possible to observe the importance of marketing to such success. However, it is worth reflecting in this work on the extent to which marketing help in the sale of a literary work and up to what age group do these books influence and how do they act on people's purchase options. Are these works only another market phenomenon or would they have literary qualities are the questions to be noted.
