Myngath: Some Recollections of a Wyrdful and Extremist Life

Myatt - who has translated works by Sophocles, Sappho, Aeschylus, and Homer - has been described as "a British iconoclast who has lived a somewhat itinerant life"; as "emblematic of the modern syncretism of radical ideologies"; as "an example of the axis between right-wing extremists and Islamists"; as a "theoretician of terror"; and as "the leading hardline Nazi intellectual in Britain since the 1960s".

'Myngath' provides an overview of his strange and diverse life. A childhood in Africa and the Far East; his often violent political activism; his involvement with paramilitary and criminal activities; his time as a Catholic monk; his conversion to Islam, and the personal tragedy that, via pathei-mathos, led to his rejection of all extremism and to him developing a mystical philosophy centered on empathy and the personal virtues of compassion, tolerance, and humility.
