Lizard - jose saramago

A story by Nobel Prize-winning writer Jose Saramago, gorgeously illustrated in woodcuts by one of Brazil's most famous artists.

When a lizard appears in the neighborhood of Chiado, in Lisbon, it surprises passers-by, and mobilizes firefighters and the army.

With a clear and precise style, the fable offers a multitude of senses, reaching audiences of all ages.

The Lizard is a short story included in A Bagagem do Viajante (1973), a volume that brought together the Saramago chronicles for the newspaper A Capital and the weekly Jornal do Fundão between 1971 and 1972.

Translated by Nick Caistor and Lucia Caistor, The Lizard, is an illustrated version of the chronicle by J.

Borges.
