Summary/Abstract: This paper explores and analyses the extent to which German literature is represented in the literary journals of Nada and Zora published in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The reason the author decided on these two journals was the fact that both of them were published at the turn of the century: Nada was published in Sarajevo in the period of 1895-1903, while Zora was published in Mostar from 1896 to 1901. Given the fact that the reasons for starting each of them were diametrically opposed, the analysis of the representation of German literature in both is a very interesting issue, with the reception of these texts explored on a separate basis. This encompasses the translation of lyric and prose texts, as well as notes, reviews, essays, critical accounts, and pieces of information on German literature. In the final section of the paper, the author, by means of the comparative method, draws a parallel between the two journals, along with providing judgement on the role and significance of the German literary texts reviewed within them.
