Abstract
To adapt is to adjust something to be fit in a new position or situation. A general phrase which could be said about this wide term. In literature the term is used to modify that a work of art has been reused and produced in being other than the former one. The adapted work is going to be fresh as it is recently having been written, yet that does not mean it will be a successful one. Adaptation has been known since ages; however, it has not come to be known under that name. Eventually, it is come to be known as historical novels. History should be built on facts and nothing but facts, while in historical fiction the readers are going to encounter many fictions, which make it a novel. This work is going to shed light on this subject. It tries to study the Talisman (1825) the work of Sir Walter Scott as well as Michael Crichton‟s masterpiece Eaters of the Dead (1976). Both authors are great ones. However, this work will show that there are some ideas and information reflect other critical points are used by both authors and their adapted works.
