Summary/Abstract: This article tries to reconstruct a literary geography – that of Vienna 1900 – with its special configuration of themes and cultural mentalities. Mitteleuropa is the background for H. Bonciu's novels (Bagaj… and Pensiunea doamnei Pipersberg) and poetry. Atypical figure within the Romanian interwar canon, Bonciu could be seen as a descendant of those writers who defined – in terms of Stefan Zweig – „Die Welt von Gestern”.
