The authors:
Theresa Pulszky (7 January 1819 – 4 September 1866), also known as Terézia Pulszky, was an Austro-Hungarian author and translator.[1] Born in a Viennese family, she moved to Pest, Hungary after marrying her husband Ferenc Pulszky. Her experiences in Hungary and her subsequent escape from the country during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 to London, England was written down in diary form and published in 1850 as the highly acclaimed book Memoirs of a Hungarian Lady. She and her husband published several more works together from their later experiences and in translated Hungarian stories, poems, and culture for English audiences. Together with her family, she traveled across the United States alongside abdicated Hungarian leader Lajos Kossuth in 1853, resulting in another positively reviewed book on their experiences in America.
Ferenc Aurél Pulszky de Cselfalva et Lubócz (17 September 1814 – 9 September 1897) was a Hungarian politician, writer and nobleman. After fleeing Hungary in 1849 and being condemned to death in his absence, he was able to return and resume his political career in 1866 under an imperial amnesty.
