Vitezović's aphorisms suggest a double reception to the modern reader in a certain, sensitive way.
They should be read in the time when they were written and now, so to speak, timeless, when the so-called reality surpassed and rhymed with many "harsh words" with its original satire.
The satirical magazine Nos (vol. 1, May 10, 1917) by Zyra Vukelić pokes fun at everyday wartime life and domestic vanities: short, sharp sketches about politics, journalism, and "reputation," written in the midst of World War I.
A comprehensive work in which aphorisms were compiled by Vladimir Brodnjak, Zvane Črnja, Davor Kapetanić, Gustav Krklec, Ton Smerdel and Tomislav Sabljak. Although later editions expanded the collection, this first edition remains a cult classic of Croati
Epoha, 1968.
