One of the greatest prodigies of his era John Stuart Mill (1806-73) was studying arithmetic and Greek by the age of three as part of an astonishingly intense education at his father's hand. Intellectually brilliant fearless and profound he became a leading Victorian liberal thinker whose works - including On Liberty Utilitarianism The Subjection of Women and this Autobiography - are among the crowning achievements of the age. Here he describes the pressures placed on him by his childhood the mental breakdown he suffered as a young man his struggle to understand a world of feelings and emotions far removed from his father's strict didacticism and the later development of his own radical beliefs. A moving account of an extraordinary life this great autobiography reveals a man of deep integrity constantly searching for truth.
