    Author

    Ayn Rand

    Ayn Rand (1905–1982) wrote the bestselling novels The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957) and founded the philosophy known as objectivism. Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Rand taught herself to read at the age of six and soon resolved to become a professional writer. In 1926, she left Communist Russia to pursue a screenwriting career in Hollywood, and she published her first novel ten years later. With her next book, the dystopian novella Anthem (1938), she introduced the theme that she would devote the rest of her life to pursuing: the inevitable triumph of the individual over the collective.

      Personally wasn’t a huge fan of the way the book was read but I think it was intentionally done in that style. Story itself is short and interesting enough to listen to but the weird style sorta got in the way I kept getting lost because of the weird pauses.
    • 5/5
      Ayn Rand was a philosopher who expressed with power and clarity a new perspective of ourselves, our individual persons, to be examined in a way perhaps never contemplated by most of us individuals. That is, from the point of view of ourselves without the blessings of freedom and individuality that free people tend to take for granted, even while waving our banners and proclaiming appreciation for such blessings. She holds up a new kind of mirror for us, one in which we can see familiar images in an unfamiliar light.
      Most importantly of all, of course, she helps us understand that that glimpse itself, along with all it reveals, can itself be taken away from us, and that those who would do so use deceit and force to hide truth. We must not allow our freedom to be stolen by agents of the collective, whose efforts to subjugate human beings will never cease. The freedom of the ego must be fought for, and that fight can never be won; it must be ongoing, or it can be lost.

      P.S. Frank Marcopolos was excellent in his presentation. He made the story, which is difficult at first to enjoy, flow and build towards its intensely satisfying conclusion.
    • 3/5
      The story was good. I liked the reading less, though.
    • 5/5
      Not sure I loved the story. It is a classic. The narrator did a great job bringing the story to life.
