From The Author of "ATLAS SHRUGGED" and "THE FOUNTAINHEAD"
Anthem is a dystopian fiction novella by Ayn Rand, first published in 1937 in England. It takes place at some unspecified future date when mankind has entered another dark age as a result of the evils of irrationality and collectivism and the weaknesses of socialistic thinking and economics.
Technological advancement is now carefully planned (when it is allowed to occur at all) and the concept of individuality has been eliminated (for example, the word "I" has disappeared from the language).
As is common in her work, Rand draws a clear distinction between the "socialist/communal" values of equality and brotherhood and the "productive/capitalist" values of achievement and individuality.
This Special Collector's Edition contains both the unedited and annotated versions of the Ayn Rand's book, with notes and observations for study, and a Foreward by Ayn Rand.
REVIEWS:
"A compelling dystopian look at paranoia from one of the most unique and perceptive writers of our time"
- New York Times
"A diamond in the rough, often dwarfed by the superstar company it keeps with the author's more popular work, but every bit as gripping, daring and powerful."
- Publisher's Weekly
"Ayn Rand was more of a prophet than many people once realized."
- Alan Greenspan

Über den Autor
Ayn Rand was a Russian-born American novelist, screenwriter, essayist, and philosopher best known for her fiction of individualism, reason, ambition, and opposition to collectivism. Born Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum in St. Petersburg in 1905, she experienced the Russian Revolution and the rise of Soviet power before emigrating to the United States in 1926. Her early life under revolutionary collectivism shaped much of her later writing, especially her interest in freedom, selfhood, productive achievement, and the moral status of the [...]'s major works include We the Living, Anthem, The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged. Through these books and her later nonfiction, she developed the philosophy she called Objectivism, centred on reason, individual rights, rational self-interest, and laissez-faire capitalism. Whether admired or disputed, Rand remains one of the most widely read and commercially influential writers of twentieth-century political and philosophical fiction, with continuing relevance for readers of dystopian literature, libertarian thought, capitalism, individualism, political philosophy, and novels of ideas.
