On a secluded lighthouse, former first-class captain Branimir Bato Lončar and his wife Danica live a monotonous everyday life, occasionally disturbed by a stray tourist or a boat in danger.
As in Velikić's previous novels, the heroes weave analogous and often intertwined destinies of frustrated Central European citizens and intellectuals, the topography is very diverse, but also recognizable.

The essays collected in this book reveal the origins and meanders of Sanja Lovrenčić's years-long search for the authentic character of Ivana Brlić Mažuranić.
