Ayn Rand's epochal novel Atlas Shrugged, first published in 1957, has been a bestseller for more than four decades as well as an intellectual landmark. It is the story of a man who said that 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 and his hardest battle against the woman he loved? What is the world's motor and the motive power of every man? WhenThe Fountainheadwas first published, Ayn Rand's daringly original literary vision and her groundbreaking philosophy, Objectivism, won immediate worldwide interest and acclaim. This instant classic is the story of an intransigent young architect, his violent battle against conventional standards, and his explosive love affair with a beautiful woman who struggles to defeat him. This edition contains a special afterword by Rand s literary executor, Leonard Peikoff, which includes excerpts from Ayn Rand s own notes on the making ofThe Fountainhead. As fresh today as it was then, here is a novel about a hero and about those who try to destroy him. '
