Although the scale of time and space in some of the pieces is immense, individual characters still manage to leave their marks; even though the force of modern civilization sometimes seems overwhelming, small places and their key components somehow persevere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e These are the genesis stories of a region.
