He has always been dedicated to scientific work, teaching, research, and training men and women in multiple disciplines.

Everything is remembered with sincerity and humor.This autobiography is, in truth, Bunge on Bunge, sharing everything that passes through the sieve of his memory, as he would say.Mario's many grandchildren are a testament to his proud standing as a family man, and at the age of 96 he gives us a book for everyone: for those who value the memories that hold the trauma of his life as well as for those who share his passion for science and culture.
