Le Coeur et les confins
Cédric Gras

An anthology of 12 short stories on the theme of the difficulty of reconciling love and travel, Le Cœur et les confins is Cédric Gras’s first incursion into the domain of fiction. He has taken on a touchy subject: can a man love a woman and still have a taste for adventure? Can he reconcile an irresistible urge to be elsewhere and the desire to settle down? Like urban legends, Cédric Gras’s short stories take us to the four corners of the earth, into ever-more distant regions – and they take us his way: roughing it. The main character in each story is a modern adventurer. In one, after two years on the road, a young man hesitates out of fear of rejection from the woman he loves. In another, having developed a taste for the road and for solitude, a man goes to his girlfriend’s place of work, but can’t bring himself to knock on the door…

Through these 12 tales, Cédric Gras takes on such universal themes as love and travel, showing how hard it is for a modern adventurer to get entangled in a love story that could imperil his wanderlust.
