Product Description In a dire future following the Great Rebirth, the word “I” is unspeakable. Individualism has been erased in favor of collectivism. Any act that is not in service to the group is forbidden. And self-reliance is a punishable transgression. But for an anonymous rebellious street sweeper, that offense is all that stands between the authoritarian state and freedom.A hymn to egoism, Ayn Rand’s dystopian parable is the embodiment of her core tenets of self-sufficiency and fighting against the oppression of “We.”Revised edition: Previously published as Anthem, this edition of Anthem (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions. About the Author Ayn Rand (1905–1982) was a Russian American screenwriter, playwright, novelist, philosopher, and founder of the Objectivist movement. Ayn’s belief in reason and ethical egoism and her rejection of faith, altruism, and religion became the foundation of her writing, activism, and politics.Born and educated in Saint Petersburg, Ayn immigrated to the United States in 1925. Over the next ten years she worked as a Hollywood extra, wrote a screenplay and a play for the stage, and published her first novel, the semiautobiographical We the Living. It was followed by her dystopian novella, Anthem. Her first major success as a writer came with the novel The Fountainhead in 1943, and in 1957, her magnum opus, Atlas Shrugged. Advocating the core tenets of Objectivism, it was an international bestseller.
