Autor przedstawia najważniejsze epizody 200-letniej historii Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego oraz sylwetki jego rektorów, wybitnych profesorów i absolwentów, w tym Fryderyka Chopina. Publikacja jest wprowadzeniem w historię Uniwersytetu, a także przewodnikiem po jego historycznych gmachach, zbiorach odlewów gipsowych czy rycin i rysunków przechowywanych w Gabinecie Rycin Biblioteki Uniwersyteckiej. Autor omawia osiągnięcia i spuściznę Wydziału Nauk i Sztuk Pięknych (1816–1831) oraz Szkoły Sztuk Pięknych, która działała na terenie kampusu uniwersyteckiego w latach 1844–1862. Skupia się również na historii gmachów Uniwersytetu, jego godle i innych symbolach. Opisuje uniwersyteckie osiągnięcia naukowe i intelektualne na tle ważnych wydarzeń z historii Polski.
Publikację uzupełniają interesujące dodatki tematyczne dotyczące m.in. Mieszkania Chopinów na terenie głównego kampusu uniwersyteckiego, postaci Stanisława Kostki Potockiego, założyciela Muzeum UW, zbiorów mumii egipskich i sarkofagów należących do tegoż Muzeum (w depozycie Muzeum Narodowego w Warszawie) oraz uniwersyteckich noblistów. Całość wieńczy kalendarium dziejów Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego.
Publikacja, bogato ilustrowana mało znanymi materiałami, jest przeznaczona dla szerokiego kręgu czytelników.
