«Esteiros» is the neorealist novel by Soeiro Pereira Gomes, published by Caminho in paperback (224 pages, in Portuguese).
A group of boys, including Gineto, Gaitinhas and Malesso, work in the telhais, the tile factories built beside the esteiros of the Tagus. When work is scarce, they wander or steal to eat; despite everything, they keep dreaming. The novel is considered an inaugural work of Portuguese neorealism.
The first edition dates from 1941; this 1993 edition belongs to the Caminho Jovens collection (no. 26).
The Grandes Romances da Literatura Juvenil series brings this work to young readers; as a neorealist classic, it appeals to adult readers.
