„In Quest of the Miracle Stag is an astonishing anthology of Hungarian poetry from the thirteenth century to the present. It is a revelation, an inundation and – thanks to a helpful apparatus of notes and essays by the editor Adam Makkai and other helpers – an education in a great corpus of poetry insufficiently known in English.”
