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).

The goal of the paper is an analytical and interpretatory reflection on Urban´s short story V súmraku/In the Twilight from the collection titled Výkriky bez ozveny (Screams without Echos, 1928). The interpretation was written with the ambition to contribute to the literary and scientific corpus dedicated to Urban´s literary work with regard to various text forms of his short story published in the years 1928, 1943 and 1965, and also to comment on the parallels between the short story in question and Russian literature (Dostoyevsky, Andreyev). The resources used for writing the paper include the editions of the short story: the original edition of the collection of novellas was provided by Báčki Petrovac library, the later ones are widely available. The literary and scientific resources included writings by experts of Urban´s literary work (Koli, Rakús, Števček), whose findings are related to the subject and the goal of the paper. The comparison of the editions of the short story In the Twilight from the years 1928, 1943 and 1965 helped discover the tendency to weaken the explicitness by making the expressions more and more vague and by reducing the narrator´s comments, as well as to increase the suspense in the short story through the reduction mentioned above and the tendency to strengthen the lyric and vivid elements in the text. The nature of the contrasts on the syntactic and semantic levels was described in order to clarify the way of creating the tension-and-ease arc employed in the short story. The presence of the allusions to Russian literature was demonstrated by including the quotations from the literary works dealing with the creation of characters in the situation of a murderer´s inner drama (Andreyev), the similarity between the literary works of Urban and Dostoyevsky was presented by comparing the outer motifs (the image of beating a horse, an axe as a murder weapon) as well as the inner ones (the motive for the crime, the breaking point of the conflict with God). The paper is supposed to enrich the literary and scientific reflection on Urban´s literary work. The in-depth interpretation of the structure of the short story In the Twilight contributes to the research into Urban´s poetics.

The present study is a way of contemplating about the forms of the author´s subject who occurs differently in memoirs, fiction and journalism written by Slovak prose writer Milo Urban. What stands out here is creating different images of the creator. In the first case it is the recalling subject present in the second book of Urban´s memoirs Kade-tade po Halinde. Neveselé spomienky na veselé roky (All around Halinda. Cheerless Memories of Cheerful Years, 1992). Similar features can be found in the image of the author´s subject of the prose Živý bič (The Living Whip, 1927). It includes the author´s memories of the First World War organized in a literary way. These images are confronted with the author´s subject presented in Urban´s magazine and newspaper articles. This is where the progression of the author´s journalism career is revealed as its ideological aspects only show later when he becomes the editor-in-chief of the daily Gardista. The outcome of the analysis of the different ways of Milo Urban´s writing is ambivalence of the author´s subject depicted by him.

The article looks at the ways Bratislava is portrayed in Milo Urban’s (1904 – 1982) memoirs and journalistic texts. It starts with the reflection of an essay published in the mid-1930s in Elán magazine and continues with an analysis of the topographic outline of the city presented in the second and third part of Urban’s memoirs. The latter texts provide a look at the city from the point of view of a stranger, newcomer. The descriptions give an insight into the emotional state of the narrator and his view of Bratislava, characterised by his exclusion from the social space of the city. The texts also contain musings on urban imagination. Common attributes of all analysed texts lie in the confrontation of modernisation with Slovak tradition. The article also outlines the possibilities of further research into Urban’s work through the analysis of urban topoi: the formerly unfamiliar Bratislava gradually becomes a known and natural space – although this process is a problematic and not finite one.

The aim of the contribution is the analysis of the critical text of the Minister of National Defence of the war-era Slovak Republic and chief military commander, Ferdinand Čatloš. In the text, he provides an analysis of Milo Urban’s prose, Who Sows the Wind (Kto seje vietor) (1964), which describes the World War 2 period. The study includes an annex which containing a part of Čatloš’ paper which has not been scientifically reflected as yet. In her comparative analysis, the author of the study examined interpretation of two historical events by Čatloš and Urban: the Hungarian-Slovak armed conflict in 1939 and the so called Lichardus coup along with Čatloš’ resignation in 1941.Value of the study consists in the enrichment of Čatloš’ biography in terms of the memoir-like nature of his elaborate, clarification of the context of Urban’s artistic work and completion of his biography, since the “disputation” with Čatloš is a part of his correspondence and to evaluate the informative value for historical research on a sample of Čatloš’ commemorative texts.

With the help of reading the second volume of the memoirs titled Kade-tade po Halinde. Neveselé spomienky na veselé roky. /All around Halinda. Cheerless Memories of Cheerful Years/ written by Milo Urban and published as late as in 1992, the paper reveals the publishing environment which the author entered at the very beginning of his literary and journalistic career. It is set within the period between his first articles in magazines and the year when his novel Živý bič (The Living Whip, 1927) was published. The article is therefore dominated by the references to several interwar periodicals – dailies Slovák and Slovenský národ, as well as the students´ magazine Vatra. This is also why the scope and variety of Urban´s bibliography within the period in question are so surprisingly wide. In this paper special attention is also paid to the author´s attitude to politics and ideologies, which he dissociates from in his memoirs.
