This abstract was translated from CAPITÃES DA AREIA

Mística Uma Brazilian city, of natural beauties and palco of so cruel reality. A extensive reality to the all the

other cities, the entire world. The reality of our children of street. The reality of a social chaos, that exactly thus holds back in the viscera a beauty of the pureness, of the hope of the credits, the responsibility, the desire of not wanting, the necessity of the fondness. Bahia of all the SAINTS, all the ERÊS,… Its sands that as much enchants, that the sun and the sea accept bodies tanning, receive the bodies of the boys, that if become captains of that space, of the wind…. It makes an impression is to see the reality so distant of the year where it was written and the reality of today. The same one. Nothing it moved, only the names, or perhaps it hasmoved yes. For worse. The discords, the fears, the hunger, the tears, pain ......... are part of day-by-day, as well as the rightnesss, the truth, the reasons, the hopes of changes. Thus it is the life of these children, plays in the streets for varied reasons, they represent a truth of years and years, and nothing it is made by all we. The Captains of the Sand, asphalt, the Land, the Rock, the Gram,… ours: Without-leg, Peter Bullet, Pirulito, Professor, Dry Return,… Dora only girl of the group. City of Salvador, where it jumps joy, music, pain and sweat. Lastimável Palco of true Brazil. Thus this Master of the Masters: Loved Jorge, after to play to high the all the letters, supports a history, that in the burrow the heart. To start to read, means not to stop until its epilogue. It confers, it reads, it enjoys and if it delivers. I guarantee, you goes to feel I smell it of the sea, the soft breeze, burning of the sun, pedrinhas of the bahian sand.
