The protagonist of Victims of the Biedermeier, Vukašin Pomorišac, a sickly, elderly archivist, engages in a search for the paintings of Konstantin Danil, a renowned painter of the Serbian Biedermeier style. His wanderings around the nineteenth century are a way for him to escape from getting in touch with others and with his own life. In meticulously written meta-narrative work, the author explores the nature of creation and of the inability to face omnipresent failure in achieving the imagined. Only after the days of his life on earth pass does Danil realize that the ornaments and the decorative elements of his paintings seem empty to him, inapt to convey the truth of his vision. The different narrative voices of the novel, floating between the past and the present, life and death, here and there, merge into one in an incessant game of creation.

Progonjen avetima sopstvene prošlosti, otac odvodi svoja dva sina i jednog vernog slugu na napušteno imanje nekadašnjeg rezervata, s namerom da tamo zasnuje novo čovečanstvo, ali ne da obnovi i nastavi ljudski rod nego da na ničijoj zemlji zaustavi vreme, zabrani sećanja, snove i uspomene. Ipak, njegov mlađi sin Muanito, koji je ujedno i narator ove pripovesti, uprkos očevoj zabrani, krišom uči da čita i piše da bi otkrio kako je pisanje, pored snova, najčvršća spona između prošlosti i budućnosti, između zaborava i nade...
