The following thesis talks about Martin Heidegger's concepts of being-towards-death and angst and to find those two concepts in Vitomil Zupan's short fiction collection Gora brez Prometeja. Martin Heidegger's philosophy is not only taken as a contextual guide, this thesis also tries to reflect Zupan's writing through the method of Heidegger's analysis of Hölderlin's poetry and thus tries to argue that Zupan's work is not merely good in the context of his writing skills, but also through the context of expressing angst and being-towards-death. And, consequently, Zupan also indicated a way how one can free himself from hiding from them and accept them as part of one's existence.
