Captains of the Sands (Penguin Classics)

A Brazilian Lord of the Flies, about a group of boys who live by their wits and daring in the slums of Bahia

A Penguin Classics

They call themselves â€œCaptains of the Sands,â€ a gang of orphans and runaways who live by their wits and daring in the torrid slums and sleazy back alleys of Bahia. Led by fifteen-year-old â€œBullet,â€ the bandâ€”including a crafty liar named â€œLegless,â€ the intellectual â€œProfessor,â€ and the sexually precocious â€œCatâ€â€”pulls off heists and escapades against the right and privileged of Brazil. But when a public outcry demands the capture of the â€œlittle criminals,â€ the fate of these children becomes a poignant, intensely moving drama of love and freedom in a shackled land.

Captains of the Sands captures the rich culture, vivid emotions, and wild landscape of Bahia with penetrating authenticity and brilliantly displays the genius of Brazilâ€™s most acclaimed author.
