Very attractive. A near fine example of the Centennial Edition. Interestingly, this edition is a 1/2" taller, 1/4" wider, and 10 ounces more substantial than the original Random House volume. Also, includes an ephemeral one sheet introduction to Ayn Rand, her influence, beliefs, and objectives; concise but excellent introductory material to her life and works. Originally published in The Week, April 9, 2009. In Rand's greatest achievement - and last work of fiction - she dramatizes her unique philosophy through an intellectual story that integrates ethics, metaphysics, epistemology, politics, and sexuality. 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. Endowed w/larger-than-life characters and charged with towering questions of good and evil, Atlas Shrugged is a revolutionary epic. Printed in the United States of America. 1168 pages plus author bio. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 021395
