«Esteros» is the novel by Portuguese writer Soeiro Pereira Gomes, published by Alfaguara in 1988, in paperback (210 pages, in Spanish).
The story follows children who grow up by the estuaries of the Tagus and make a living as best they can, between hard work, idleness and stealing to eat. They are children whom society pushes into premature adulthood, without school, without family and without leisure, but who still hold on to their dreams. It is a story of Portuguese neorealism.
The original novel «Esteiros» dates from 1941; this Spanish edition, translated by Mario Merlino, belongs to the Alfaguara Juvenil collection.
A novel with a social background, for readers interested in Portuguese neorealism and classics of youth literature.
