Summary/Abstract: On the basis of three texts which, due to their characteristics, certainly belong to the opus of peasant tales, the author of the following article presents a few examples of how the economic situation was depicted in the Slovenian literature before World War II. Through the process of a critical comparison between the literary narration and realisations of the historical science, the manifestations of wider historical and developmental changes are revealed and the ongoing social and economic processes are documented.
