摘要：
Paul de Faget de Casteljau (19.11.1930 - 24.3.2022) has left us an extensive autobiography, written in 1997. In 19 sections, he takes us through his eventful life which he describes with wit and humor. We read about his youth in occupied France and his education at the Ecole Normale Sup & eacute;rieure . He describes in detail various episodes from his time at Citro & euml;n, the situation during and after the discovery of his now famous algorithm, the takeover by Peugeot, his ban from working on CAD and his corporate rehabilitation thanks to his advances in polar forms and quaternions. His memoirs end with his departure from Citro & euml;n and his first invited talks at academic conferences. The paper contains the transcribed French original, its English translation and numerous notes and annotations. The handwritten text is available as a digital supplement.
