Description

Atlas Shrugged is a modern classic, a philosophical novel deeply rooted in Ayn Rand’s theories of objectivism and morality.

Summary of the Book

One man declared that he would stop the motors of the world. His actions would earn him the conflicting labels of destroyer and liberator. In this shocking panorama of human life, Ayn Rand populates her novel with realistic characters who choose to change the world little by little. She wakes us to the reality of our greed and the unstoppable motor that pushes mankind forward towards its own doom.

About Ayn Rand

Alisa Zinov'yevna Rosenbaum, better known to the world as Ayn Rand, was a Russian-American novelist, playwright, philosopher and screenwriter known for her books Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead.

Rand is considered one of the staunchest advocates for the triumph of reason as the only way to acquire true knowledge, rejecting faith and religion. Her ideals are embodied by the Objectivist Movement which seeks to spread them across the public and academia.
