Kritik
"Zsolt Czigányik, who is a renowned specialist in utopian literature, has titled his history Utopia between East and West in Hungarian Literatur... . Hungarian utopianism had the luck to have attracted some of the best Hungarian writers. ... this scholarly superb contribution of Czigányi's book to the understanding of utopia '... would be supplemented by translations into English and other languages of the discussed works still demanding the command of the Hungarian language in order to be enjoyed." (Mariano Martín Rodríguez, Revista Hélice, Vol. 10 (1), 2024)

"I regard this as a major work that invites comparison with other fictional philosophical treatments of artificial intelligence. Czigányik's rich overview of the unique Hungarian contribution to the common utopian tradition should secure recognition of Hungary's rightful place in it and stimulate needed further research." (Ralph Dumain, Hungarian Cultural Studies, Vol. 16, 2023)mehr
