Master Sadık has done a beautiful work. My curiosity about the existence of utopias in our country increased my interest in the book. First of all, what issues are included in the concept of utopia? Since the Tanzimat period, some intellectuals have written some works under the title of dreams. I wonder if these works can be included within the concept of utopia? According to foreign writers, in order for a dream work to be a utopia, it must express the existing problems, criticize them and offer solutions to these problems. Sadık Usta's Turkish dream works, which can be included in the concept of utopia, were collected and examined. Namık Kemal's Dream, İsmail Gaspiralı's Darürrahat Muslims, Hüseyin Cahit Yalçın's Imagined Life works are in this genre. The master added these works verbatim at the end of his work. That was one of the things I liked about the book.
