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.
