«Las bicicletas son para el verano» is the play by Fernando Fernán Gómez, published by Espasa-Calpe in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
Set in Madrid during the Civil War, the play focuses on the daily life of a family in the Chamberí neighbourhood. The routines, conversations and small gestures of its characters reflect the fear, scarcity and hope of a society shaken by the conflict, without abandoning a tone of closeness and emotion.
The volume belongs to the Selecciones Austral collection (no. 124) and includes an introduction by Eduardo Haro Tecglen and a documentary appendix.
A work suitable for fans of Spanish theatre and historical drama, and commonly read in schools.

He was born in Lima, Peru while his mother, Spanish actress Carola Fernán-Gómez, was making a tour in Latin America. He would later use her surname for his stage name when he moved to Spain in 1924.
