The collection of nine novellas is Tatarka's debut. It was first published by Matica slovensk谩 in 1942.听

The titles of the novellas refer to the scope of the author's search:听Podvojn谩 rozpr谩vka (The Binary Fairy Tale), O拧ia木 (Craze), V听煤zkosti h木adania (The Anguish of Searching), Pred zrkadlom (in Front of the Mirror), 膶lovek na dia木ku (The Long-distance Man), Pach (The Scent), 膶erven媒 Ben膷at (Red Ben膷at), Koh煤tik v听ag贸nii听(Little Rooster in Agony)听and E拧te s听vami pobudn煤钮 (To Stay with You for a Little Longer). Anguish as the emotional vertical of the soul becomes the search engine. It exposes the human existence, people and most of all civilians endangered by war, struck by the loss of a family member and by nothingness. As听Tatarka sees it, life's triunity is made听of love, pain and terror. Thanks to his strong empathy he is able to feel, see and delve into that which is听vulnerable - the human core. The novella Scent is a terrifying account of what war atrocities can do to a human life.听
