Envar-i Zeka is one of the magazines that witnessed the literary activities of the artists of intergeneration (ara nesil). It contains the works of Tanzimat artists and has a large staff of authors.[4] Within the Turkish literature, its translation activities gained high importance. Besides literary, philosophical and scientific translations from German, French and English, one of the special features of this journal is one of the first examples of prose poetry and poetry in Turkish literature following the Tanzimat period.[4]
