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

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 Fund?o between 1971 and 1972. Translated by Nick Caistor and Lucia Caistor , The Lizard , is an illustrated version of the chronicle by J. Borges.
