"Tearing up a daily newspaper is the only way to free oneself, at a stroke, from thieves, murderers, swindlers, apostles and catastrophes"… This quotation from the poet Guido Ceronetti fits Zakamoto's works perfectly: he manages to transform dramatic headlines, generally set in huge type, into visions full of humour, capable of drawing a smile from us and at times a real laugh.

Two hundred physicists gathered at the International Conference on Elementary Particles have reported on the progress of a vanguard that has uncovered profound and terrible secrets of the atomic world. This is nuclear physics, the study of the innermost part of matter, of that very compact nucleus where certain particles are held together by extremely powerful forces. When such particles are broken, new phenomena appear, difficult to interpret. After exploring the major universities, we have only just begun to grasp the conditions that remain to be explored. These problems are so vast and so profound that we do not know whether a solution will ever be found.
