Ayn Rand rose to prominence in 1943 with the publication of The Fountainhead, which became one of the most influential and widely read philosophical novels of the twentieth century. Setting forth a radical code of morality advocating rational self-interest, Rand established her reputation as a brilliant, controversial thinker and novelist.

An impassioned proponent of reason, individualism, and laissez-faire capitalism, she expressed her views in numerous works of fiction and nonfiction that have been brought together for the first time in this one-of-a-kind volume.

Work Description

The Fountainhead, which became one of the most influential and widely read philosophical novels of the twentieth century, made Ayn Rand famous. An impassioned proponent of reason, rational self-interest, individualism, and laissez-faire capitalism, she expressed her unique views in numerous works of fiction and non-fiction that have been brought together for the first time in this one-of-a-kind volume. Containing excerpts from all her novels--including Atlas Shrugged, Anthem, and We The Living--The Ayn Rand Reader is a perfect introduction for those who have never read Rand, and provides teachers with an excellent guide to the basics of her viewpoint.
