Bereczky Erzsébet (szerk.): Imre Madách: The Tragedy of Man. Essays about the ideas and the directing of the Drama (Budapest, 1985)

György Lengyel: Foreword

about Hungarian history, about mankind, politics, love, about the controversial relationship between man and God, between the individual and the masses.

We have to be aware that the Tragedy was written in one of the most tragic periods of Hungarian history. And in spite of all the inner doubts and contradictions expressed in it, it is the drama of everlasting fight and of survival.
