Andor Kapos

Andor Kapos is credited as the author of A tanító (The Teacher), a Hungarian one-act play that has been preserved through Project Gutenberg and other online library catalogs. Library and bookseller records also connect the name with editions pairing A tanító with Ákos Horváth’s Pompei utolsó éje.

Reliable biographical details about Kapos appear to be very limited in the sources available here. I couldn’t confirm dates, a fuller bibliography, or a standard reference biography, so it seems safest to describe Kapos as a little-documented Hungarian dramatist whose name survives chiefly through this digitized work.

For listeners and readers, that obscurity can be part of the appeal: Kapos belongs to the large group of writers whose work outlasted the details of their lives, leaving the writing itself to speak most clearly.
