Atlas Shrugged
Atlas Shrugged

Dystopian philosophy meets epic industrial struggle.

Imagine a world where the thinkers and doers, those who drive innovation and growth, vanish. "Atlas Shrugged" is more than just a novel; it's a journey into Ayn Rand's Objectivist philosophy wrapped in a gripping story of economic collapse and personal awakening. If the idea of exploring a brutally capitalistic dystopia intrigues you, and you're drawn to ambitious narratives with philosophical underpinnings, this book is likely to captivate your mind and provoke thought on individualism versus collectivism.

Description

A towering philosophical novel that is the summation of Ayn Rand's Objectivist philosophy, Atlas Shrugged is the saga of the enigmatic John Galt and his ambitious plan to 'stop the motor of the world.' This Penguin Modern Classics edition opens with the enigmatic question 'Who is John Galt?' and envisions a world where the 'men of talent'—the great innovators, producers and creators—have disappeared. With the US economy faltering, businesswoman Dagny Taggart struggles to keep the transcontinental railroad running. For Galt he is the enemy, but as she learns, nothing in this situation is quite as it seems. Hugely influential and grand in scope, this story of a man who stopped the motor of the world expounds Rand's controversial philosophy of Objectivism, which champions competition, creativity and human greatness. Ayn Rand (1905–82), born Alisa Rosenbaum in St. Petersburg, Russia, emigrated to America with her family in January 1926 and never returned to her native land. Her novel The Fountainhead was published in 1943 and became a bestseller. Still occasionally working as a screenwriter, Rand moved to New York City in 1951 and published Atlas Shrugged in 1957. Her novels espoused Objectivism, a philosophy that champions capitalism and the primacy of the individual. If you enjoyed Atlas Shrugged, you might like Rand's The Fountainhead, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. 'A writer of great power ... she writes brilliantly, beautifully, bitterly' The New York Times. 'Atlas Shrugged ... is a celebration of life and happiness' Alan Greenspan
