21 of the best Spanish-language writers share their experiences of school, whether their own or from their imagination. They describe school in post-war Spain, with its lack of resources, the deprivation bordering on poverty and its coldness, but also the first loves and those friendships that would last a whole lifetime. There are also stories of school today and all its technology. But in all the stories there is an implicit and unjustly forgotten figure who is fundamental to any tale of school: the teacher.
