Summary/Abstract: The genre of personal diary belongs to one of the most subjective autobiography genres. The goal of the present study is to examine the autobiography and diaries written by Elena Maróthy-Šoltésová (1855–1939), a Slovak realist writer. Namely, to compare her diary My Children with Dostoyevskyʼs Diary of a Writer. The focus of the study is on the genesis, composition, genre and themes in both diaries. It is hoped that similarities in terms of their genre, compositional individuality, themes and biographical connections between Šoltésová and Dostoyevsky can be discovered.
