Alexandru Cazaban

Alexandru Cazaban (October 6, 1872–May 24, 1966) was a Romanian prose writer.

Born in Iași to François Cazaban, who was of French origin, he graduated from the city's National College in 1895, following which he entered an architecture school that he did not complete. He worked by turns as a proofreader at Românul, a rural schoolteacher, a draftsman, a veterinarian and a civil servant at the bridge and highway agency, before re-entering the newspaper business with the support of Alexandru Vlahuță and Barbu Ștefănescu Delavrancea. In 1898, he edited Bolta rece magazine at Iași, publishing humorous vignettes. His own publishing debut involved satirical sketches that appeared in Anton Bacalbașa's Moș Teacă.
