Domači prijatelj Zofke Kveder

In 1904 in Prague the Czech manufacturer František Vydra began to publish a literary newspaper in Slovene entitled Domači prijatelj (1904–1915). Its first and only editor was Zofka Kveder (1878–1926), who, in addition to publishing original prose and poetry by renowned Slovene writers such as Ivan Cankar, Anton Aškerc, Ksaver Meško and the like, also drew in authors who had not yet won recognition at the time, for example Ivan Lah, Prežihov Voranc, France Bevk, Stanko Majcen and many others. The Domači prijatelj newspaper was only delivered for free to those who ordered František Vydra’s corn coffee. Otherwise, it could be neither bought nor was it possible to subscribe to it. The editor commented on many contributions written by the beginners and also answered letters in a section Listnica uredništva (Editor’s Portfolio in English), where her supervising qualities found expression, with this section becoming one of the most prominent in Domači prijatelj.
