EPOCHAL: AS-NEW virtually NEW: IMPECCABLE: PRESENTATION QUALITY: First Trade Paperback "Plume-Penguin USA" Edition (Orig. August 1999) of the 35th Anniversary Edition (Orig. hardcover March 1992) of Ayn Rand's celebrated best-selling classic (Orig. 1957) w/ no. line showing Thirty-First Printing (c. 2016), NEW handsomely-designed durable heavy laminated card-stock color cover w/ sharp NEW edges & corners displaying celebrated image of a golden "Atlas", IMMACULATE unblemished smooth-cut text-block exterior, NEW perfect binding w/ tight sheets, PRISTINE interior printed w/ handsome clarity on SUPERB unblemished silk-finish paper * 6.00" x 9.00" x 2.00", 1.42 kg, xvi+1168 (1184) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: "To all the readers who discovered "The Fountainhead" & asked me many questions about the wider application of his ideas, I want to say that I am answering you in the present novel, & that "The Fountainhead" was only an overture to "Atlas Shrugged". I trust that no on will tell me that men such as I write about don't exist. That this book has been written (& published) is proof that they do." -Ayn Rand * Ayn Rand's epochal best-selling novel, first published in 1957, is an intellectual landmark. It is the story of a man who said he would stop the motor of the world, and did. Was he a destroyer or the greatest of liberators? Why did he have to fight his battle, not against his enemies but against those who needed him most, & his hardest battle against the woman he loved? What is the world's motor, & the motive power of every man? These are the questions behind the baffling events that play havoc w/ the lives of the characters in this story. Tremendous in its scope, this novel presents an astounding panorama of human life, from the productive genius who became 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 composer who gives up his career on the night of his triumph . . . to the woman who runs a transcontinental railroad . . . to the lowest track worker in her Terminal tunnels. This is a riveting mystery, not about the murder of a man's body, but about the murder --(& rebirth)-- of man's spirit. It is a philosophical revolution in the form of an action thriller of violent events, w/ a ruthlessly brilliant plot & irresistible suspense. Peopled by larger-tan-life heroes & villains, male & female, charged w/ awesome questions of good & evil, "Atlas Shrugged" is a giant novel, the supreme triumph & ultimate testament of one of the towering geniuses of our time. This special 35th Anniversary Edition of Ayn Rand's masterwork features an illuminating introduction by Leonard Peikoff, Rand's longtime associate & legal heir. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: AYN RAND'S first novel, "We the Living", was published in 1936. "The Fountainhead" (1943) achieved spectacular & enduring success. Rand's unique philosophy, Objectivism, has gained a worldwide audience. The fundamentals of her philosophy are set forth in her brilliant novels, "The Fountainhead" & "Atlas Shrugged", & in such nonfiction works as "Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology", "For the New Intellectual", "The Virtue of Selfishness", & "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal". A magnificent statement of her artistic credo is available in "The Romantic Manifesto". * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via Mandatory USPS PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.…
