Abstract

The author of this article showed the differences between two baroque ego-documents of prominent politicians: the ‘Travel Diary’ of Pylyp Orlyk, hetman of Ukraine and ‘Diaries. Memories’ of Francis II Rákóczi, Prince of Transylvania. In the article is shown the family and love life of both personas. An interesting point of Rákóczi’s ego-documents is also his love for Elżbieta Sieniawska, carefully hidden in the pages of his ego-documents.
