This study deals with the short stories by the Slovak writer Milo Urban from the second half of the 20th century, part of which was published in the collection 'Z ticheho frontu' (1932). The authoress of the study shows that the structure of these works was influenced by the fact that they were originally published in the newspapers and the journals. The base of the study is the interpretation of Urban's short stories published in the journals and the papers - 'Slovak', 'Slovensky dennik a Slovenska politika' in the second half of the 20s of the 20th century. On the background of social position of the mountain dwellers Urban deals with their personal balancing with a difficult fate. Urban places the elementary views of an ordinary man coming out from the authentic christianity against relativism and the wrong values. Regarding the recipient the writer emphasized a model 'sujet' and he included the elements of a fairy-tale, calendar prose and sentimental prose well-known to wide group of the readers. A complicated semantics was replaced by the unambiguous message. A man in this prose is a part of the village society and is first of all a moral being. The authoress comes out from the theses in which meet the ideas of the christianity with the idea of the myth of soil, and the idea of unanimism (fusion of an individual with a collective soul).
