The article is an attempt at a comparative reading of two Witold Gombrowicz’s diaristic texts, namely “Dziennik 1953–1956” (“Diary 1953–1956”) (a literary diary) and “Kronos” (the writer’s private diary). An analysis of one record concerning general Pueyrredón’s house (“Diary 1953–1956”) shows the challenges posed when negotiating the fragment with the notes included into Kronos. The author argues that the tensions between the literary and the private in “Diary 1953–1956” derive partially from the camouflage, and also from Gombrowicz’s struggle to delineate a tragedy of his own existence in a broad (philosophical, metaphysical) sense more than in the erotic-physiological context. Tischner suggests an interpretation that answers the question why Gombrowicz composed two diaries which differ on factual level. It also makes it possible to state that Gombrowicz wanted his readers to know the content of “Kronos”.
