"Leaves in the Wind" by A. G. (Alfred George) Gardiner is a set of insightful essays from the early 1900s framed by war, offering glimpses into life, society, and human nature. It shows Gardiner looking at the world around him with touches of humor and stories from his own life. It starts with the author on a late train at night, alone with his thoughts; the quiet is broken when a mosquito appears, pushing the author to think about freedom, living together, and life's little oddities, as he comically tries to swat it. This moment becomes a gateway to explore Gardiner's views on the world and what it means to be human.
