Is being a part of the "herd" really a good thing? In Ayn Rand's Anthem, we join our protagonist in this dystopian future world where humankind's compulsion to seek and live in the "safety of numbers" can go horribly wrong. Anthem was published in 1938 but is scarily relevant to our modern world.

Von der Autorin der weltweitbekannten Romane "Atlas wirft die Welt ab" und "Der Ursprung". Gleichheit 7-2521 lebt in den dunklen Zeiten der Zukunft, in denen alle Entscheidungen von Ausschüssen getroffen werden, alle Menschen in Kollektiven leben und alle Spuren des Individualismus ausgelöscht wurden. Trotz eines solch restriktiven Umfelds brennt in ihm immer noch der Funke des individuellen Denkens und der Freiheit. Er, Gleichheit, 7-2521, verlor fast sein Leben, weil sein Wissen als verräterische Blasphemie angesehen wurde.

In Ayn Rand’s Anthem, humankind has entered a dark age at some point in the unspecified future. Individuality is no longer permitted, and people are assigned roles to fulfill in their lives. The work's protagonist, Equality 7-2521, is given an undesirable job as a punishment for thinking for himself and desiring to become a scientist instead. The novella outlines his journey as he starts to commit more “crimes” against society, such as desiring a companion of his own choosing, discovering electricity, and ultimately fleeing from his leaders.

The classic dystopian novella, Anthem, is one of the earliest books to explore a theme which has become a standard motif in science fiction literature: the search for individualistic expression in a repressive and rigorously organized society.

Technological advancement is now carefully planned, and the concept of individuality has been eliminated. A young man known as Equality 7-2521 rebels by doing secret scientific research. When his activity is discovered, he flees into the wilderness with the girl he loves. Together, they plan to establish a new society based on rediscovered individualism.

This remarkable, newly revised collection of Ayn Rand's early fiction ranges from beginner's exercises to excerpts from early versions of We the Living and The Fountainhead. Arranged chronologically, from 1926 through 1940, these works allow readers to follow the extraordinary trajectory of Rand's literary and intellectual growth, from a 21-year-old Russian immigrant struggling to master English to the brilliant prose stylist and sophisticated philosopher she was to become in her mature work.

"Ideas are the greatest and most crucially practical power on earth," wrote Ayn Rand. In the title essay of this collection, Leonard Peikoff applies this principle to the world of business. He shows that certain philosophic ideas, such as reason, egoism, and individualism, are needed to defend and protect the freedom of businessmen, while the opposite ideas, such as mysticism, altruism, and collectivism (which dominate our universities), destroy that freedom.

Ayn Rand (1905-1982) was a Russian-American novelist, philosopher, and screenwriter. She is best known for her two influential novels, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, and for developing a philosophical system she called objectivism. In this public lecture, Rand criticizes altruism and mysticism as incompatible with business.

Der Ursprung, Ayn Rands zeitloser Klassiker von 1943, beschreibt seinen Helden Howard Roark als einen Menschen, der die Motivation für seine Arbeit aus sich selbst schöpft und nicht um den Applaus anderer bemüht ist. Dieser junge Architekt kämpft nicht nur für die künstlerische Vision seiner Bauten, sondern gegen die Maßstäbe der "Autoritäten" und gegen die Herrschaft der Mittelmäßigkeit, der Gleichmacherei und der Beliebigkeit - und gegen eine atemberaubend schöne Frau, die ihn leidenschaftlich liebt, aber seinen schlimmsten Feind heiratet.

Las ideas artísticas de Ayn Rand que completan su sistema filosófico. En su filosofía moral, Ayn Rand ensalza la virtud del egoísmo, y en su concepción del arte no es menos radical. Este libro contiene su original y audaz teoría estética, que estipula los principios indispensables para juzgar una obra de arte de manera objetiva. Rand sostiene que esos estándares objetivos son posibles porque el arte es una necesidad fundamental de la vida y tiene una función esencial como expresión condensada de la mente racional del ser humano.
