>>10844 I could volunteer to do an unofficial translation right here, but I don't have a copy of my own.
Read through my dad's copy though, so I can fill you in on some of the "fluff".
Overall, it's less worldbuilding and more short, fictitious memories of people growing up in the area on top of this gigantic, fictitious particle accelerator built in the 1970's. Most of the little snippets of stories take the form of schoolyard rumours, stuff that a friend of a friend claimed to have seen etc.
Also a LOT of depressing deaths, for some reason. And many of the most interesting pictures don't get stories, or they get stories that don't really explain anything. The focus is on creating a nostalgic, melancholic feeling, not a detailed world.
Anyway, really short summaries about some of the stories accompanying the pictures:
>>10620 A power plant on a little island only inhabited by a crippled hermit, called the "hotel" by the locals. He dies alone, and the plant is abandoned.
>>10622 Local man grows a plant he calls "moonroot", which he claims can cure all kinds of ailments, including cancer. THe plant only grows in moonlight, so he constructs this gigantic device in his barn that catches and stores moonlight (ignore the fact that none of this makes any sense, since moonlight is just reflected sunlight).
