About
A world in chaos demands we stay human. These stories draw us into the intimacy of what makes us human. Some are marked by war, social instability, totalitarianism, while others are peaceful and reassuring, but each emphasizes that great social movements call out for improvements to the common good. Fragments of Place asks all of us to be aware of the new pages of global history as they are written. These literary short stories explore the depths of human folly, from fanaticism and greed to barbarity and indifference. Through vivid characters and evocative settings, Aude examines the impact of violence, loss, and memory on individuals and communities. This collection is for readers interested in philosophical reflections on the human condition and seeking solace in stories of resilience and resistance.
