Albert Jay Nock 4

Albert Jay Nock was one of our most distinctive and distinguished prose stylists, whether in his splendid essays or intriguing biographies. As his good friend and libertarian colleague H. L. Mencken observed: "Thinking in English he thinks in charming rhythm. There is never any cacophony in his sentences as there is never any muddling in his ideas. It is accurate, it is well-ordered, and above all, it is charming." For almost fifty years Albert Jay Nock has been a decisive and seminal influence in my life and intellectual world-view. I hope he will become one in your life too.
Often compared to The Education of Henry Adams, Nock's sumptuous and elegant autobiography is not to be missed.
