Description
Captives of Love and War
Book Summary
A journey through human fragility in the face of armed conflict, where love and war become inseparable forces. The author, Roman Galimany, analyzes how wars do not just destroy stone, but erase centuries of history, tradition, and security. This work, edited by Anna Estallo, invites the reader to reflect on the human condition trapped between sentiment and violence, offering a deep and moving look at the personal and collective consequences of armed conflict.
What is it about?
