On the pages of this book, almost all genres of discourse blend together, abolishing the boundaries between them. The fairy tale merges with the essay, the essay with poetry, poetry with natural history... Real beings become fantastic, abstract concepts, objects, and natural phenomena acquire the properties of beings, monsters are humanized, humans are monsterized, the animal and plant kingdoms are enriched with new, previously unknown species...

So what is this book? A game? Yes, a game that, while canceling pretentiousness, remains serious, because, as a Spanish song says, la vida es una broma seria, which means life is a serious joke, sometimes even tragic.
