ABOUT THE BOOK

A Song for Nagasaki by Fr. Paul Glynn is the powerful, true biography of Dr. Takashi Nagai, a Japanese physician, pioneering radiologist, and convert to Catholicism who lived through the atomic bombing of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.

The book is more than a historical account; it is a profound meditation on the journey from scientific atheism to spiritual faith, and the transformation of a victim of war into a "saint" of peace and reconciliation.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Paul Glynn is an Australian Marist priest who lived and worked in Japan for over 20 years. His deep understanding of Japanese culture, Shintoism, and Buddhism allows him to frame Dr. Nagai’s story not just as a Western-style biography, but as a bridge between Eastern and Western philosophical thought.
