ABSTRACT

I have known Tony Jasay intermittently for 50 years after his arrival at Nuffield College, Oxford in 1955. His passage from Hungary where he was born in 1925 to Oxford was unusual. I have never asked him about his early life and my only sources have been a very slim file in Nuffield College, and a brief biography found on the Internet. I did not want to probe further. Tony might want to write his own autobiography, like many octogenarians.
