The article analyzes the works of two novelists from Sniatyn (Ivano‐Frankivsk) Vasyl Stefanyk and Vasyl Tkachuk for special (similar and distinctive) features in their national vision of the image of the land, which for Ukrainians as an ethnic group that has shaped its agrarian culture for centuries, remains the greatest value, holiness, a symbol of spiritual stability. Therefore, this image in Ukrainian culture is very deep, has archetypal features, because the land for the Ukrainian people was not only evidence of prosperity and wealth, but also a moral imperative and this is widely reflected in folklore and the cultural heritage of Ukrainians, including literature. In the Carpathian and Transcarpathian mountain regions, the peasant’s attitude to the land was aggravated by the fact that there were few small plots ‘won’ from the mountains and adapted for cultivation. That is why the life of peasants is marked by a special complexity during a long historical period and of social changes. So, the first emigration of Ukrainians began who since the end of the 18th century sought happiness in the fertile lands of the Canadian prairies. V. Stefanyk and V. Tkachuk grew up and formed as writers in one region, for both the life of the Carpathian peasants, which they portrayed with a deep psychology, became the main theme of their works. There are many parallels in their short stories, but the most complete for both artists is the image of the earth, which has become the subject of our comparative studies.
