Publishing Principles
As a rule, each issue is thematic and is dedicated either to one or another national literature (Swedish, Maghreb, Belgian, etc.), or to some significant literary and, more broadly, cultural phenomenon ( Holocaust literature, New York poetry school ) or a separate author (e.g. Joyce , Nabokov , Michel Leiris , Walter Benjamin , Carlo Emilio Gadde , Fernando Pessoa ). Many materials on magazine pages address the theory and practice of translation.
The addressee of the magazine is, first of all, tomorrow's writers and poets, on whom, as can be seen in the four decades of its publication, the magazine really has a great impact .
Other activities
The magazine awards literary prizes in several categories.
