1884–1935
A Hungarian journalist, editor, and novelist, he wrote fiction alongside a busy newspaper career in Budapest. His life stretched from Temesvár to the Hungarian capital, and his work reflects the literary world of the early 20th century.

by Lehel Kádár
Born in Temesvár on January 18, 1884, Lehel Kádár studied law in Budapest before turning to journalism. From 1909 onward he worked for several Budapest newspapers, building a career as a writer, editor, and public voice in Hungary’s lively press culture.
Alongside his journalism, he published novels and short fiction. He is especially associated with A három galamb, a novel that has remained accessible through later library and digital editions, helping keep his name in circulation for modern readers.
Kádár died in Budapest on April 8, 1935. Reference works in Hungarian describe him as both a journalist and an author, placing him among the literary and newspaper figures who helped shape Hungarian public life in the decades before the Second World War.
