Summary/Abstract: Although written in two different historical, social and cultural contexts that had undoubtedly left their mark on the literary texts, the two novels, The Case of Rab, the Painter by Hamza Humo and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce belong to modern literary heritage and to the great archive of the twentieth century literature. What enables their comparative reading is the closeness in characters, motifs and themes, narrative techniques, and furthermore the use of diary form and essayistic discourse in their modernist prose. The narrative role of diary in the prose of these authors is determined by the philosophy of modernism. Diary excerpts appear as an integral part of their modernist prose with the aim of directly illuminating the artists, and so that they, as a kind of metaphysically shaped biography, witness the birth of artists on the horizons of modern culture.
