The aim of the article was to present the beauty of aging heroes living in adreamlike and idealized worlds of Goran Petrovic’s prose, and to reveal the mechanism of beautifying the aging process itself by reffering to folklore, playing with stereotypes, and using strongly metaphoric language. Presented paper focuses on Petrovic’s interesting ways of showing the beauty hidden in old age, also pointing to forgetting names and words as the most important determinant of aging what indicates aclose connection between human existence and language (ontological status of language).
