"The largest Hungarian writer, Kalman Miksat, a critic of strict and stingy praise, called the novel The Golden Man (1872)" the most poetic "of all Yokai's creations and" beautiful as a morning dream. " This review is not accidental. The success of the novel surpassed anything Yokai knew before. During the author's lifetime, he withstood a huge number of publications, was translated into several languages, his dramatic version did not leave the theater stage for twenty years, and was subsequently filmed three times."
