"Atolls" is a collection of short fiction by Japanese writer Nakajima Atsushi (1909–1942), whose work combines profound philosophical meditation with subtle poeticism. The publication includes two cycles of works: "Stories of the Southern Islands" and "Atolls," in which the author, drawing on his personal experience in Micronesia in 1941, builds fragile bridges between times and worldviews. Known for his reimaginings of Chinese legends, Nakajima here turns to colonial themes, exploring the clash of cultures and the nature of power. The first cycle, "Stories of the Southern Islands," includes parables and stories inspired by local myths and legends and intertwined with the everyday life of the islanders. The second, "Atolls," is a lyrical travel diary, where travel notes transform into philosophical essays. Nakajima's prose is concise and detailed, and his perspective—at once detached and penetrating—makes these texts unique testimonies of the era.
