Presented study is an interpretation of key Slovak literary pieces of historical genre written in 40-tieth and the first half of 50-tieth of the 20th c. Particularly there are a novel 'Zlate mesto' (Golden City) by J. Horak, M. Figuli's 'Babylon' and a novelette 'Skryty pramen' (Hidden Resource) by L. Zubek. Those three publications help to present the fact, that historical genre is based on ambivalence of event and duration. Historical event is not in the centre like dynamic sujet event but everyday human life is like natural foundation of that event. The archetypal conventions of myth represent a leading element of that structural setting. Reading of Horak's and Figuli's novels and the novelette of L. Zubek showed that through those works aesthetically problematic line in the history of historical genre in Slovak prose has been extended. The novels are in connection with mythically pragmatic line. Contra-factual influence against contemporary socially political situation was a part of their reception meaning. It is an extension of the line on the beginning of which J. M. Hurban stood and which continued in the period between the World War I and World War II through the historical novels of Martin Kukucin and Martin Razus. Participation of the prosaic works studied in that article shows in both mentioned above lines specifics of time, in which they were written as well as specific functions, which appear always in connections with historical genre, when texts written in that genre appears in the contemporary literary life in the centre of attention.
