This essay involves a critical approach to the main features of Fina Casalderrey’s Historia da bicicleta dun home lagarto, novel published in 2014. For this purpose, I shall begin by dealing with the origins of the novel, its initial reception and translations. Then I shall consider the themes of the text linked to its main characters and, finally, I shall refer to its structure and style.
