The eighteen stories in the volume range from the fantastic tale to the portrait of childhood: «Continuidad de los parques», «Axolotl», «La puerta condenada» and «El móvil» are some of the titles. Cortázar turns everyday situations into unsettling experiences and makes reading a game whose rules are discovered at the end.
