This was my first adult book I read (not sure when, but I was an early teenager), had a great impact on me.Captain of the Sands is a pleasure of a novel, a great piece of social storytelling in the vein of Charles Dickens. Jorge Amado's book is compared to Lord of the Flies but that seems a lazy comparison; it feels much more like a Brazilian Oliver Twist in the tone of the writer but especially in the way the writer approaches social commentary and character depiction. It doesn't feel like allegory but like realism with a touch of magic and romance. It could also be compared to Robin Hood, a
I read most of this book during a three-week trip across Brazil this summer. We did not go to Bahia, which in retrospect feels like a missed opportunity. Because I was so captured by Amados narrative and descriptions of the town and its waterfront that it would in fact have been great to see how much of the Bahia of the Captains of the Sands is still visible today.Amados Captains of the Sands delivers so much of what I look for in works of litera-ture.

My father gave me to read this book back in 2004 when I was only 12 years old. I can't remember exactly what is happening in the book, but I can remember for sure that after having finished this, I was in a really emotional mood.

Personally my favorite Brazilian author and my favorite book of his. Firstly read this at school and, even if I wasn't much of a reader at that time, I remember trading rest time to read this book. I could not concentrate while not finishing the story. The way things happens, described almost perfectly by Amado, binds you almost completely. You know it is a story, yet in between the words written Amado tells you and warns you with a pinch of reality. The characters are very outstanding, with
