The novel "The Zrinjski-Frankopan Conspiracy" (1893) was the most widely read Croatian book for ten years, and, thanks to the interest of readers at the time in historical events, it had a huge influence on younger generations of readers.
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 book is composed of 22 chapters, and in the first, introductory chapter, entitled The Ugly Face of Primitivism, Agić explains the reasons and mechanisms of social rejection.
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.
