Anthem is Ayn Rand's classic tale of a dark future age of the great "We"-a world that deprives individuals of name, independence, and values. Written a full decade before George Orwell's "1984," this dystopian novel depicts a man who seeks escape from a society in which individuality has been utterly destroyed. Rand expertly shows how collectivism (including social programs in the United States) destroys freedom and individuality. Her philosophy is simple: "planning" is a synonym for "collectivism," and "collectivism" is a metaphor for communism and tyranny. This important book should be read...

Two Ayn Rand classics--Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead--together for the first time. Peopled by larger-than-life heroes and villains, charged with towering questions of good and evil, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's magnum opus: a philosophical revolution told in the form of an action thriller. It is the story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world--and did. Was he a destroyer or the greatest of liberators? Why did he have to fight his battle, not against his enemies but against those who needed him most--and his hardest battle against the...

In this early 20th century novella, Ayn Rand creates a dystopian society that emphasizes government control over all elements of a civilization - and complete conformity of the people within it. Mankind is in a dark age, both literally and figuratively: There is no light, technological advancement is rarely allowed, and impotent collectivism is not only preferred, but required, over individuality. Anthem is a raw and haunting study of how society might look should we trade every "I" for "We."

Ayn Rand (San Petersburgo, 1905 - Nueva York, 1982) es, sin lugar a dudas, una de las pensadoras mas relevantes del siglo XX. La solidez de sus ideas esta presente a lo largo de toda su obra literaria, que supone uno de los mas brillantes analisis que existen acerca del valor del hombre como un bien en si mismo. Sus novelas resultan inconfundibles por la realidad que incorporan sus protagonistas, individuos que rebasan por meritos propios la categoria de personajes literarios. "Himno (Anthem)" es su segundo libro publicado. Se trata de una novela corta publicada en 1938 que presenta...
