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).

Similarly as many Slovak prose writers of the previous generation, in his collection of novellas 'Vykriky bez ozveny' (Cries without Echo) (1928), Milo Urban drew inspiration from rural environment. But Urban also introduced a modern universal topic in his novellas. It is certain distress, narrow-mindedness of village life. The main characters of Urban's stories, the village outsiders, experience it most intensively. They are lonely people who estranged their surroundings. The distress, melancholy that they feel indicates how reserved, shut off village can be. The author of the study interpretes two early novellas by Milo Urban - 'Jasek Kutliak spod Bucinky' (1922) and 'Rozprávka o Labudovi' (The Fairy-tale on Labuda). Due to the way of narration and ambiguity they present modern proses. The features of a fairy-tale, a ballad and a myth indicate a more complicated structure of narration. The novella 'Jasek Kutliak spod Bucinky' is about disintegration of a love relationship - after her wedding with the hunter Jasek, the young girl Hanka changes completely. The narration oscillates between the depiction of Hanka's wichedness and a story of/with modern topic of desillusion from lost love. In 'Rozprávka o Labudovi' (The Fairy-tale on Labuda) there are two possible ways of how to read the text. The first one is a story about a foolish peasant, the second is a more universal story about Labuda that becomes an allegory of human fate. The explanation of the novella becomes more complicated when its figurative language, metaphors as well as the topic of isolation are taken into account.
