The book in front of you, in fact a travelogue, is a journey, leaving the family, meeting interesting interlocutors, growing, going into the unknown, searching for the universe within.
In today's grip of dry facts, our libertarian, childlike mind flees towards stories, beauty, challenges. We are going back to the time of myths, to the human search for mirroring in the sky.
These stories show the problems of Croatian everyday life in the 19th century - the disintegration of traditional Slavonian village life, the disappearance of rural cooperatives, the sale of land to foreigners, the departure of peasants to the city.
Structured as a series of realistic, unusual and incredible adventures of the train driver Uncle Janoš, it is characterized by a successful composition, direct communication, persuasive storytelling and a sense of humor.
