Ayn Rand

    February 2, 1905 – March 6, 1982

    Ayn Rand's writing is driven by her philosophy of Objectivism, which champions reason, individualism, and laissez-faire capitalism. Her narratives explore the struggles of independent minds against societal pressures and collectivist mediocrity. Through her distinctively passionate and principled characters, Rand probes the nature of achievement and the moral imperative of self-interest. Her work offers a powerful, albeit often controversial, exploration of human potential and societal structure.

      Das romantische Manifest

      Kunst. Literatur. Ästhetik.

      In diesem wunderschön geschriebenen und brillant begründeten Buch wirft Ayn Rand ein neues Licht auf die ewige Frage, was Kunst ist, warum sie eine solche Macht über den menschlichen Geist hat und welchen Zweck sie im Leben der Menschen erfüllt. Einmal mehr stellt Ayn Rand hier die Originalität ihres Denkens unter Beweis. Sie durchbricht den Schleier der Sentimentalität und des Rätselhaften, der das Thema "Kunst" umgibt, und weigert sich wieder einmal, sich von populären Schlagworten und konventionellen Ideen diktieren zu lassen, wie man über ein kontroverses Thema zu denken hat.

      "Ungebeugt und ungebrochen ist ein Roman über die Resultate der freiheitsfeindlichen Ideen, die auch Sie vielleicht vertreten. Und genau darum ist er heute für Sie relevant. Er ist relevant, weil er Ihnen sagt, wie man das Gift, das der Westen heute so gierig zu sich nimmt, von der Nahrung unterscheidet, die wir so dringend brauchen. Er ist relevant, weil es darin nicht um eine weit entfernte Vergangenheit, sondern um eine ständig vor der Tür stehende Zukunft geht. In diesem Buch geht es nicht um Ihre längst verstorbenen Großeltern, sondern um Ihre gerade aufwachsenden Kinder." (Leonard Peikoff)

      INCLUDES THE NEVER-BEFORE-PUBLISHED NOVEL In print for the first time ever, author and philosopher Ayn Rand’s novel Ideal. Originally conceived as a novel but then transformed into a play by Ayn Rand, Ideal is the story of beautiful but tormented actress Kay Gonda. Accused of murder, she is on the run, and she turns for help to six fans who have written letters to her, each telling her that she represents their ideal—a respectable family man, a far-left activist, a cynical artist, an evangelist, a playboy, and a lost soul. Each reacts to her plight in his own way, their reactions a glimpse into their secret selves and their true values. In the end their responses to her pleas give Kay the answers she has been seeking. Ideal was written in 1934 as a novel, but Ayn Rand thought the theme of the piece would be better realized as a play and put the novel aside. Now, both versions of Ideal are available for the first time ever to the millions of Ayn Rand fans around the world, giving them a unique opportunity to explore the creative process of Rand as she wrote first a book, then a play, and the differences between the two. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY LEONARD PEIKOFF
