Johann Nack was a son of the lawyer and member of the Bohemian state parliament, Johann Edler von Nack-Meyroser-Meyberg , who was ennobled in 1913, and his wife Catherine Grohmann. He studied law at the German University in Prague without a degree. Von Nack then worked as a feature editor for the Prager Abendblatt and wrote book reviews and theater reviews.

His play Acht Ruder im Takt premiered in 1938 at the Deutsches Theater in Prague .

After the German occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1939, Milada Narrenta was initially classified as the wife of an Aryan , but was deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto in 1944 , and von Nack was imprisoned in a camp for the spouses of Jews. Both survived the persecution.

After the end of the war, von Nack found employment as a radio announcer at Radio Prague . After the February revolution in 1948, they fled to Austria, where von Nack made a living from translating American booklet novels. He succeeded again in a new literary beginning and he published a volume of poetry and a volume of stories and received the Theodor-Körner-Preis in 1970 . In 1974 he was awarded the Golden Medal of Merit of the State of Vienna .
