Bertrand Russell

Autobiography

Russell's three-volume self-account spans philosophy, love affairs, pacifism, prison, and two world wars — written in prose so lucid it reads like an argument. Graham cited it as a favorite autobiography; it models that rare combination of absolute intellectual honesty and full engagement with ordinary human life.
