Summary This small sample - it would be pretentious to call it an anthology - includes the main texts by Alfonso Reyes on the death of his father. Others were left out, especially the still little known "Mi óbolo a Caronte", rescued not long ago by the scholar Fernando Curiel. As a complement to these texts, this plaquette includes six drawings by the talented Mexican artist Emiliano Gironella, in which he conveys the same sorrowful spirit that characterizes these funeral texts by Alfonso Reyes. The Colegio de México makes this edition to commemorate the 125th anniversary of the writer's birth, in 1889, who was its first president and great encourager, as well as the 55th anniversary of his death, which occurred in 1959.
