Mere Mortals Book Reviews Dreamlike Childhoods Must Come To An End | Capitães Da Areia (Jorge Amado) BOOK REVIEW
A Bahian trance reflecting the best & worse of Brazilian childhood.
'Capitães Da Areia' by Jorge Amado ('Captains Of The Sands' in English) is a coming of age story set in a 1930's Brazilian beach town. We follow a group orphaned adolescents who live without care under a pier. They know the streets better than anyone and are a menace to the city authorities. Under the leadership of their chief Pedro Bala we see them grow from young teenagers into young men through a haze of good & bad experiences.
