Summary/Abstract: The importance of travel literature is based especially on the documentary value of his texts. The literary values derive from the fact of travel/road journals record the events experienced by authors heavily approaching to memorialistic writing. Travel books range in style from the documentary to the evocative, from literary to journalistic, and from the humorous to the serious. They are often associated with tourism and include guide books, meant to educate the reader about destinations, provide advice for visits, and inspire readers to travel. Travel journals are a subject rarely researched in literature from Vojvodina, apart a few records in some histories of literature from this area that presents only diachronic emergence of these works. Travel journals in Romanian language published in Vojvodina covers the spiritual life of the people who lives here and those represent remarkable contributions to cultural history of this part of Europe.
