In The History and Adventures of an Atom , a London haberdasher relates extraordinary tales of ancient Japan as dictated to him by an omniscient atom that has lived within the bodies of great figures of state. Intended for the instruction of the British ministers, the work is a savage allegory of England during the Seven Years' War (1756 - 1763), draping kings and politicians, domestic and foreign affairs, in an intricately detailed, endlessly allusive veil of satire.
