Bródy, Sándor (Alexander) (Eger, 23 July 1863 - Budapest, 12 August 1924) – Novelist, playwright, journalist. His high-school studies were left incomplete, and he worked as a clerk for a solicitor in Gyula, where his first articles appeared in the local paper. He also wrote short stories. By 1884 he moved to Pest and became known by his novels Squalor (Nyomor) and Doctor Faust (Faust orvos). He got a position at the journal Hungarian News (Magyar Hirlap). In 1888 he went to Kolozsvár (now Cluj-Napoca, Romania) and was Editor at the Transylvanian News (Erdélyi Híradó) (1888-1889), Transylvanian Illustrated News (Erdélyi Képes Újság) (1889), and Kolozsvár Life (Kolozsvári Élet) (1889); then edited the journal Hungary (Magyarország) (1889-1890). In 1890 he returned to Budapest as a correspondent for the Hungarian News (Magyar Hirlap). For a year in 1900 he published the literary and political monthly White Book (Fehér Könyv), every issue written by him. From 1903 to 1905 he edited his own weekly Future (Jövendő), in which he criticized the social absurdities of the time. As a writer he had a romantic disposition, regarding Mór (Maurice) Jókai, the great novelist of the 19th century, as well as the naturalist Émile Zola as his models. He lived a tough life. In the summer of 1905 on the Semmering Pass, Austria, he tried to commit suicide, but recovered and became the correspondent at the journals Pest Journal (Pesti Hírlap), The Day (A Nap), The News (Az Újság), and later The Evening (Az Est).

He was an important pioneer of the Hungarian naturalistic novel. His works include The Schoolmistress (A tanítónő), play (1908); Lyon Lea, play, (1915); The Lover (A szerető) play (1917); The Students of Eger (Az egri diákok), novel (1854), and The Knight of the Day (A nap lovagja), novel (1902).
