Namen diplomskega dela je bil predstaviti žanre mladinskega realističnega romana in ugotoviti, katera snov, teme in motivi se pojavljajo v šestih mladinskih realističnih romanih novozelandskega pisatelja Davida Hilla, prevedenih v slovenski jezik. Prebranih, analiziranih in primerjanih je bilo šest romanov. Dva od teh, Saj bo bolje in Korak pred plameni, spadata v žanr mladinskega realističnega avanturističnega romana. Dela Se vid'va, Simon!, Prav tam, kjer boli, Vračanje in Duet sodijo v žanr mladinskega socialno-psihološkega romana. Snov, ki je predstavljena v posameznem romanu, se dotika problemov, s katerimi se srečujemo vsak dan. Najstnik, ki je na meji med otrokom in odraslim, se težko spopada s situacijo, v kateri se znajde in se trudi, da bi težave razrešil, kljub temu, da se mu velikokrat zdi, da jim s svojimi izkušnjami ni kos. Stranski motivi in teme, ki se prepletajo v delih, so zaljubljenost, ljubosumje, sovraštvo, osamljenost, razočaranje, jeza, žalost, strah, tveganje, neuspeh, ločitev, samomor in pustolovščina. Glavne teme in motivi, ki se pojavijo v vseh šestih romanih, pa so prijateljstvo, ljubezen, družina in umiranje ter smrt. The purpose of the diploma paper was to present the genres of the young-adult realistic novels and analyse which content, themes and motifs can be found in six of the young-adult realistic novels written by the New Zealand writer David Hill and translated to Slovenian. Six novels were read, analysed and compared. Two of the novels, Saj bo bolje and Korak pred plameni belong to the genre of young-adult realistic adventure novel. The works Se vid'va, Simon!, Prav tam, kjer boli, Vračanje and Duet belong to the young-adult realistic socio-psychological genre. The content which is presented in every novel deals with the everyday problems we encounter. A teenager somewhere between a child and an adult copes with the situation he or she is engaged in with a great difficulty. He or she tries to solve the problems even though the situation is too difficult to handle because of the lack of the teenager's experience. Supporting themes and motifs that can be found in the novels are falling in love, jelousy, hatred, loneliness, disappointment, anger, sadness, fear, risk, failure, divorce, suicide and adventure. Leading themes that are included in all six novels are friendship, love, family, death and dying.
