The novel is a warm portrait of Belgrade by a passionate wanderer of its streets, built from an imagined, alternative history of the city: its pavements, parks and facades, its small craft shops, squares and monuments. Three heroes, like three good spirits of the big city, both cause and take part in its fantastic, dreamlike everyday life. Seen with a boy's curiosity about the world, the book reads as a tribute to a suburban childhood world full of wonders, a lost paradise, and as a kind of handbook for using the city.
