Summary/Abstract: Antun Gustav Matoš was a famous Croatian poet, short story writer, and journalist. He is considered to be responsible for opening Croatia to the world of European modernism. His first work from 1892, The Power of Conscience (Moć savjesti) marks the start of Croatian modern literature. Balcony is a short story with symbolist elements in which the main protagonist Eugen tells the story of the balcony to his love from his youth - Cvijeta. In the story, Eugen talks about his fascination with the balcony, but also about the unrealistically beautiful woman who appeared on it.
