Denominator of our school

His life

He was born in 1879, in Kiskunfélegyháza. His father (Móra Márton) was a tailor and his mother (Juhász Anna) was a bread baker. They were very poor but they love each other very much. Ferenc was an eminent and talented student. He had a lot of supportings. After he was a private teacher. We can read about these years in his most popular novel, in Kincskereső kisködmön (The little treasure fur coat).
He went to Budapest (the capital of Hungary) and got a degree as a teacher. He had to go to Szeged and became a journalist and in the same year he got married. Later he had a daughter.

He was a very coloured individuality: he worked as a journalist, – he wrote lot of political articles - as a archeologist, as a novel writer and as a director in a museum.
