Ádám Bodor (born in Cluj-Napoca on February 22, 1936) is an award-winning Hungarian author of Transylvanian Hungarian origin.
He was born in Romania to a staunchly Anti-Communist father and was himself an anti-Communist. In his youth he believed in Transylvanian independence and overthrowing the Communist state. At seventeen he was arrested by the Securitate.[1] After being freed he studied at a Calvinist seminary and began writing. After this he left Romania for Hungary and then spent some time in the West.[2] Several of his works have been adapted to film.
