  Late dr. Elek Tóth lived in Hajdúböszörmény, serving the citizens as a GP. We hereby present a part of a diary he wrote. He had been preparing for a military career, but didn’t succeed, so he graduated from the Agricultural Academy of Debrecen. During the 1956 Revolution, he entered the National Guard and participated in its work all the way through. He was part of the negotiating delegation sent to the MÁV Járműjavító (Vehicle Repairs of the Hungarian State Railways). Together with four peers, he did not capitulate after the Soviet intervention, but hit the road towards Miskolc at 19:20 pm, on 4th November 1956. They wanted to join the resistant teams there. In his present reminiscence, he reports in detail about the days of the Revolution, and his role in it.

  The paradigm shift after the spatial turn took place also in historical studies, during which historians placed the urban space use into the centre of the scope of their research. These research processes use a wide variety of resources. To study the “personal space” and daily movements of particular persons, it is exclusively the diaries that provide a basis –according to Gábor Gyáni. In this study, I aim to track – concentrating primarily on the register data of the Széchenyi Breviary – the nation-wide movements of the “greatest Hungarian” between May 1840 and May 1843, and thereby present the daily space use of a multihomed magnate like Széchenyi. In this work, I enumerate not only the travels of the Count, but also the routes he tookand the vehicles he used. Moreover, in connection with travels starting from Pest and Nagycenk, I also reflect on how much a person’s social relationships and daily routine were affected by space.
