"Purpurni vek" is the first book of the trilogy about the Dukajs.
The action takes place in Europe around 1848 and follows the story of two brothers from Hungary who are completely politically and ideologically different: Dali Dukaj is an ardent lover of freedom, while Antal Dukaj is a conservative bureaucrat.
The novel is set in the 19th and 20th centuries and follows key historical moments in Rijeka, a city that has been a scene of conflict between various cultures, languages, and political interests throughout history.
