"A life changing read."
5 stars"

How can a book change your life? Well read Atlas Shrugged and you will find out. Atlas Shrugged is one of the most complex and interesting novels ever written. Written by writer/philosopher Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged is an incredible mystery tale about how one man attempted “to stop the motor of the world.”

Upon reading about the great men and women in Atlas Shrugged, I guarantee you will be changed forever. Ayn Rand intertwines philosophy, politics, economics, science, and romance in a way that will leave you begging to turn every page.

Having sold over 50 million copies worldwide, even outselling President Obama's biography last year, Atlas Shrugged is a true classic that you must read.

Oh and by the way: “Who is John Galt?”

Score: 50 out of 10 (I'm serious!)

Description

Published in 1957, Atlas Shrugged was Ayn Rand's greatest achievement and last work of fiction. In this novel she dramatizes her unique philosophy through an intellectual mystery story that integrates ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, politics, economics, and sex. Set in a near-future U.S.A. whose economy is collapsing as a result of the mysterious disappearance of leading innovators and industrialists, this novel presents an astounding panorama of human life-from the productive genius who becomes a worthless playboy...to the great steel industrialist who does not know that he is working for his own destruction...to the philosopher who becomes a pirate...to the woman who runs a transcontinental railroad...to the lowest track worker in her train tunnels. Peopled by larger-than-life heroes and villains, charged with towering questions of good and evil, Atlas Shrugged is a philosophical revolution told in the form of an action thriller.

Author Biography:

Born February 2, 1905, Ayn Rand published her first novel, We the Living, in 1936. Anthem followed in 1938. It was with the publication of The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957) that she achieved her spectacular success. Rand's unique philosophy, Objectivism, has gained a worldwide audience. The fundamentals of her philosophy are put forth in three nonfiction books, Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology, The Virtues of Selfishness, and Capitalism- The Unknown Ideal. They are all available in Signet editions, as is the magnificent statement of her artistic credo, The Romantic Manifesto.
