Abstract

Traveling destinations have benefited considerably the accounts of travellers who considered it worthwhile to share with others the amazing adventures they experienced while travelling. Some travel journals are extremely personal, focusing more on the author’s impressions and feelings triggered by the visited places, while others are more objective and are intended at being accurate and neutral descriptions of people and places. This paper looked into two approaches to India as presented in two Romanian travelogues, one dating back to the second half of the 20th century, and the other to the beginning of the 21st century. The comparative analysis revealed two distinct perspectives on the topic of India as a travel destination, and disclosed that they fully reflect the time period of their writing in terms of intended purpose,attitude towards readers’ presumed prior knowledge of the topic and parallelisms with the authors’ native land
