In the novel Rakovac u Vinovrh, the character of an idealistically committed young man who fights against the economic and national oppression of Croatia appears.
In Boll's novels, one of the central themes is the attempt to preserve basic moral values in a time of terror, as well as in a period of material prosperity and corruption.
The novel is an important representative of verismo, Italian realism, and depicts the lives of people from the south of Italy, especially the conflicts between the poor peasantry and the decaying aristocracy.
