Atlas Shrugged

Born February 2, 1905,  Ayn Rand published her first novel,  We the Living, in 1936.  Anthem followed in 1938. It was with the publication of  The Fountainhead (1943) and  Atlas Shrugged (1957) that she achieved her spectacular success. Rand’s unique philosophy, Objectivism, has gained a worldwide audience. The fundamentals of her philosophy are put forth in three nonfiction books,  Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology,  The Virtues of Selfishness, and  Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal. They are all available in Signet editions, as is the magnificent statement of her artistic credo,  The Romantic Manifesto.
