In 1925 a polar expedition led by the explorer Roald Amundsen managed to reach 88º North, the northernmost latitude ever reached by a man at that time. How to represent the conquest of a place that is an absolutely empty geographical abstraction?

In 1943 the world watched in amazement at the birth of a volcano in the lands of Michoacán. Dr. Atl, a lover of volcanoes, witnessed that extraordinary event and for several years dedicated himself to recording the origin and evolution of Paricutín.

What is the purpose of schools? This question sparks a broad discussion aimed at understanding the current landscape of education in Mexico. Through metafiction, The End of School takes the reader on a playful journey—told in four sections from within a fictional classroom—that reflects on the value of learning and, above all, champions the premise that schools must serve as a vehicle for creating opportunities. For if they fail to do so, it is highly likely that they will meet their end.

You sure know the legend of the Flying Dutchman. It is the story of the ship on which the curse of not being able to reach port fell and that has wandered at sea since time immemorial.

The postcard is diffuse, but in the memory there are flashes of clarity. They appear in the scene: they chat, they meet again and they recognize in each other's eyes and words. Expectant for what may happen in the future, they decide to talk about the past to understand the configuration of the present.

Night falls in Mexico City and two stray dogs meet to continue their story before dawn. They tell tales of travelers, witches, magicians, nuns, and bullfighters between Spain and Mexico, distant events that, ultimately, continue to occur.
