The torchlight procession on March 14, 1939, SS men with chocolate, White Russians and other events that marked the history of the city during the author's adolescence. Memories evoke nostalgia for the world of childhood and high school years. The everyday life of Stiavnica residents is closely connected with the multi-storey gardens and steep stairs in narrow streets, cellars, galleries, shops on the main street, the pleasures of swimming in the ponds or the weekly menu in a bourgeois household. Joerges' printing house, archivist Baker and the city archive also come to life in his story.
