The young of March from Gyula Facts and extracts for life of Pálffy Albert - Havassy Péter Résumé Pálffy Albert was born on 20. April 1820 in Gyula in a noble family. He graduated from primary school in his home town, from secondary school in Debrecen, Nagybánya and Arad. His parents intended him for priest, so he got into seminary of Szatmárnémeti in 1837. But just before his ordination he stepped out and registered at academy of law. He passed the lawyer's examination in 1843 and went to Pest to work as a clerk, but he lived only for literature. He became friend of Petőfi in a little while, beside who he became the member of The Ten's Society (Tízek Társasága) together with Jókai, Tompa, Degré and others. Pálffy, like his companions, stood under influence of french romantic literature, and his first novels and short stories published in Pesti Divatlap and Életképek were born on the basis of french examples. He didn't really have a great success with these writings, but much rather with his easy-flowing and witty newspaper articles. The hungarian newspaperhistory keeps on record him among creaters of the modern journalist style. In 1847 he got to Pesti Hírlap launched by Kossuth Lajos. He reached the top of his political activity as a political journalist and editor of the newspaper named Március Ti314
