Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on the comparative analysis of the respective novels, Lett este és lett reggel (by László Horváth) and Egyenlítői Magyar Afrika (by Csaba Gábor Trenka). The chosen works are assessed while taking allohistorical classic literary textual horizons into account and analyzing their world building methods with a particular focus on their political and societal aspects, and how they relate to real world historical examples. The study, due to its size, is divided into two parts – the continuation will be available in the next issue of this journal.
