I was unaware of the existence of this autobiography of my maternal grandfather until recently. Following a visit to his niece Juti Svab in Budapest in Oct 2007 I was supplied with a copy of what was in her possession. This was a typed copy of part of the autobiography. Who typed it and where the original is is not known to me. There are clearly bits missing and unfortunately it finishes with his marriage in 1912. However in addition to his own childhood and youth there are very interesting passages about his father and also information about his grandfather
It was written in Hungarian and this version is a translation made by my cousin Eszter Korodi (not a Teleki cousin) to whom I am indebted for this work and the annotations that she added while translating
