The goal of the paper is to address the continuous existence of Slovak national culture outside the physical borders of the mother land. The readers are introduced into the subject of the complex evolution of the Slovaks living in the Romanian Kingdom/Romania, especially in the first half of the 20th century. The objective and subjective interpretation reflects on the religious and didactic aspect in factual literature written by Slovaks living in Romania by presenting two original writings which had (have) an important role and function in the social – cultural – literary development (i.e. they are a kind of stimuli for the national identity and self-preservation). The study contains particular extracts of the originals or meta-texts written by experts in the given field, which help „illustrate“ the atmosphere of that period as well as the creative stimuli for this national minority within a wider context. The outcome and the contribution of the paper are seen in informing the people interested in the subject of the fact that the Slovak element „has pulsated with life“ not only below the Tatras but also further south.

The paper points out the importance of autobiography as a significant form of literary development. It is characterised by its main and typical features from the point of view of the most influential cultural thinkers. It expresses the general meaning of (chosen) individuality in the background of contemporary context and versatile (determined, diverse) contacts. By such an object, it comes to the axiom that it is a kind of (re) presentation of the world, the period, creative people and their efforts in the cultural, literary, prosaic field. After general observations, the paper deals with the Kulpín native Albert Martiš (1855 - 1918), a prominent figure among the Slovaks in Serbia; then a resident, citizen, teacher, minority author within the Austro-Hungarian monarchy. It mentions the author's work, his memories of childhood and school years, but also his contemporary life. Based on this, it also reflects on unusual themes and portrayals of artistic material from the aspect of Martiš's short story-making. It analyses his versatile cultural-enlightening activity, with emphasis on his autobiographical features and short stories. This type of memoir literature presents Albert Martiš - according to literary criticism - from his best creative side. At the same time, the article interprets, from an objective-subjective point of view, his commemorative prose with autobiographical elements entitled Memories of the Lower Land Revival. Based on the documentary character of this work, the text analyses surroundings, social situations and prominent cultural and literary “workers” of the time. With special regard, it emphasizes the life and work of Albert Martiš, his gradual confirmation of education, morality and character, of course, in the background of the examined prototexts. The paper points out the most typical features of this segment of his literary work in the mentioned short stories, in which their specific diversity (even characteristic) is particularly interesting. The interpretation method from the position of perceptive reading presents various (concrete) elements of autobiography, which not only derive the typical features of Albert Martiš´s author idiolect, but also the overall social "atmosphere" of the Lowland in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this way, the individual and collective memory of the past is being concretised at present, thanks to the interpreted prose, which is in fact a kind of media in various contexts of the cultural-literary tradition of all of us (also in the future).
