The magazine published various literary works ( poems , short stories , novels , serial novels , plays , essays , travelogues , humor, memoirs , etc.). Most of the Croatian literary production of the time was concentrated in this magazine: all prominent representatives of Croatian realism and naturalism as well as the forerunners of modernism published their works in it. The Listak section (brochure) contained Feuilletone , literary advertisements, articles, reviews and news on current literary and cultural events. In later editions the magazine also brought articles from the visual arts ( illustrations , paintings , portraits ) with an elegant margin design.
