Summary
A Sergipano (inhabitant of Sergipe), arrives in Ilheus in search of work. Later on the same day he encounters Roberto and gets invited to a canteen to eat a feijoada and there meets several men sitting at the back. He meets Colonel Misael, involved in recruiting men to work on the cocoa plantations. The young man gets on the train to Pirangi and after a long journey and numerous events described in detail, he arrives at his destination. But there is not only work. On days of rest the protagonist and his friends drink a lot, especially cachaça, frequent the brothels, working men's club, and gambling dens.
