This work is a collection of 26 short stories, published in book form by Bosák Publications from Scranton, Pennsylvania, in 1959. In his various bibliographies of works, and on the Fonds contents list included by the author, Na strome života is described as a specific unit, in the same manner as the other works included in the fonds. Yet, the fonds does not include a copy of the actual book, nor does it contain a separate “File” gathering the 26 short stories in question. Selected from other collected works (not published as books), the manuscripts of these 26 short stories have been listed and described, where found, i.e. within Files 1 to 4 of Section E. Thus, “File 5” is a “fantom” file, except for a notebook described in the next folder. Based on a note by the author on one of the lists, which reads “Cvičné vydanie,” and taking into account the dichotomies between the “1959” edition published by Bosák Publications edition and the later dates of certain works said to have been part of this work, there seems to have been more than one edition of Na strome života, but no specifics could be found for any of them.
