Atlas Shrugged
At last, Ayn Rand's masterpiece is available to her millions of loyal readers in trade paperback.
With this acclaimed work and its immortal query, "Who is John Galt?", Ayn Rand found the perfect artistic form to express her vision of existence. Atlas Shrugged made Rand not only one of the most popular novelists of the century, but one of its most influential thinkers.
Atlas Shrugged is the astounding story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world--and did. Tremendous in scope, breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged stretches the boundaries further than any book you have ever read. It is a mystery, not about the murder of a man's body, but about the murder--and rebirth--of man's spirit.
* Atlas Shrugged is the "second most influential book for Americans today" after the Bible, according to a joint survey conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club
Who is John Galt?
This famous rhetorical question rings through Ayn Rand's best-selling novel as the people's anthem of despair in depressed economic times.
Set in the future, the novel follows capitalist magnates as they battle looters, strikers, and the impending ruin of the United States' economy. The romantic and intellectual relationship between Dagny Taggart, the heroine, and John Galt, whose identity as the leader of the strike is eventually revealed, carries the novel to its climax.
This novel, controversial when it first appeared in 1957, purports Rand's objectivist philosophy that the individual is free to pursue his or her own happiness without bowing to God or society. Objectivism in action upholds full laissez-faire capitalism as the only philosophy that can protect humankind's freedom to think, to be inventive, and to live productively.

The most profound book I have ever read
This novel is incredibly long, but the finest peace of literature I have ever read, and I have read many. This story is an intriguing tale that somehow relates to reality in a way that can clarify what seems to be so very wrong with society. This...

A 14 year-old's essay on 'Industrialists I Have Loved'
I knew absolutely nothing about Ayn Rand when I won a copy of this book in a review competition, and thought it was wonderfully ironic that the first novel I had 'chosen' to read since 1990 turned out to be a 1,168 page long philosophical...

Celebration of the individual
There is something solid about a book where the story echoes in reality fifty years after it was written. It amazes me how I can see the story of Atlas Shrugged play out in today's world again and again with different characters filling the...

The philosophy makes the book work.
The importance of this book rests in two areas. First, on a base level, are the characters. There is a clear divide between most of the life-affirming and destructive characters in the book: People like Dagny Taggart, Hank Rearden, Eddie...

It's not great, but it isn't that horrible either
Yes, Atlas Shrugged is pretty much a manifesto/dogma dressed up as story, kind of like the Bible. And yes, Ayn Rand's prose is a bit wordy and repetitive, like the Bible or the Koran, but the story at the heart of this quasi-religious cum...
