Amado,Jorge/Capitaes da Areia

"Bolso" (Pocket-Edition) 280 pages

 Capitães is a true classic of Brazilian Literature!
This is one of our all-time favorite books. It takes place in the cultural mecca of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, as do so many of Jorge Amado's novels. The characters are the "capitães da aréia"--a gang of homeless or truant boys who banded together for protection. It is a coming-of-age story about these young boys, who encounter the typical teenage romances and heartbreaks, along with the terror of the smallpox outbreak and the questions of Catholicism and Afro-Brazilian religion. This is truly a masterpiece of Brazilian literature, not to be missed.

"Thanks, Elena. Rio das Flores is beautifully printed and typeset, on fine paper. Nice to see that Brazilian publishers sometimes now print things at the highest standard. I remember reading, in the 1980s, books printed on what seemed like newsprint. And the other book, Nenhum Olhar, looks most intriguing. I'm looking forward to more reading in Portuguese!"
