Neuware - A Brazilian Lord of the Flies, about a group of boys who live by their wits and daring in the slums of BahiaA Penguin ClassicsThey call themselves 'Captains of the Sands,' a gang of orphans and runaways who live by their wits and daring in the torrid slums and sleazy back alleys of Bahia.
