Content
The spectrum of the box ranged from political glosses , from short stories , poems and reports to popular and literary studies, television, film and theater reviews to puzzles and caricatures . The magazine became a unique appearance in Germany . It distributed literature and made it understandable, it offered young authors and writing workers a platform and at the same time offered them theoretical guidance. It allowed proletarian revolutionary literature, the classical heritage , world literature and contemporary literature of the GDR to have their say. And she used the small literary forms such as short stories , poems and literary glosses.
