To a man who has earned such titles as "The Shakespeare of Hungary"
and "The Glory of Hungarian Literature"; who published in fifty
years three hundred and fifty novels, dramas, and miscellaneous
works, not to mention innumerable articles for the press that owes
its freedom chiefly to him, it seems incredible that there was ever
a time of indecision as to what career he was best fitted to
follow. The idle life of the nobility into which Maurus Jókay was
born in 1825 had no attractions for a strongly intellectual boy,
fired with zeal and energy that carried him easily to the head of
each class in school and college; nor did he feel any attraction
for the prosaic practice of law, his father's profession, to which
Austria's despotism drove many a nobleman in those wretched days
for Hungary. It was Pétofi, the poet, who was his dearest friend
during the student-life at Pápa; idealism ever attracted him, and,
by natural gravitation toward the finest minds, he chose the
friendship of young men who quickly rose into eminence during the
days of revolution and invasion that tried men's souls.
