Yesterday, I've found this. It's a PDF file with this purpose, from Oxford.

Some weeks ago I've also found two books tha seems to fill this purpose:

I'm not searching for something specific as I still have no idea on what I want to do with mathematics, then you can suggest books with guidance for any level of mathematical study.

Thanks in advance.

I suggest you read Letters to a Young Mathematician by Ian Stwart. It describes informally what mathematics is and what mathematicians do. When you have done some college level mathematics already and wish to survey the branches of mathematics, you may take a look at The Princeton Companion to Mathematics edited by Fields medallist Timothy Gowers.
