Abstract
The paper analyzes and compares the literary poetics in the travelogues of two prominent Slovak authors of the period of realism – Svetozár Hurban-Vajanský and Martin Kukučín. Since both writers have a rich travel opus, the paper analyzes parts of their travelogues through Croatia, more precisely Dalmatia, which
is their common toponym. These are „Dubrovník – Cetinje“ (1901) by Vajanský and „V Dalmácii a na Čiernej Hore“ (1898) by Kukučín. In their works, both writers form a kind of cultural catalogue and refer it to their native culture, and although they come from the same environment and belong to the same literary period, their catalogues differ in their selection and presentation of what they see, as well as in the way they connect it to the native culture.
Key words: Svetozár Hurban-Vajanský, Martin Kukučín, travel writing, Dalmatia, cultural catalogue
