Peopled by larger-than-life heroes and villains, charged with towering questions of good and evil, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's magnum opus: a philosophical revolution told in the form of an action thriller--nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read. Who is John Galt? When he says that he will stop the motor of the world, is he a destroyer or a liberator? Why does he have to fight his battles not against his enemies but against those who need him most? Why does he fight his hardest battle against the woman he loves? You will know the answer to these questions when you discover the reason behind the baffling events that play havoc with the lives of the amazing men and women in this book. You will discover why a productive genius becomes a worthless playboy.why a great steel industrialist is working for his own destruction.why a composer gives up his career on the night of his triumph.why a beautiful woman who runs a transcontinental railroad falls in love with the man she has sworn to kill. Atlas Shrugged, a modern classic and Rand's most extensive statement of Objectivism--her groundbreaking philosophy--offers the reader the spectacle of human greatness, depicted with all the poetry and power of one of the twentieth century's leading artists.…

The revolutionary literary vision that sowed the seeds of Objectivism, Ayn Rand's groundbreaking philosophy, and brought her immediate worldwide acclaim. This modern classic is the story of intransigent young architect Howard Roark, whose integrity was as unyielding as granite.of Dominique Francon, the exquisitely beautiful woman who loved Roark passionately, but married his worst enemy.and of the fanatic denunciation unleashed by an enraged society against a great creator. As fresh today as it was then, Rand's provocative novel presents one of the most challenging ideas in all of fiction--that man's ego is the fountainhead of human progress. "A writer of great power. She has a subtle and ingenious mind and the capacity of writing brilliantly, beautifully, bitterly.This is the only novel of ideas written by an American woman that I can recall."--The New York Times.…

Softcover. Condizione: As New. Dnes se bezne uznava, ze existuji dva typy moralky: bud obetovat ostatni sobe, coz je povazovano za zlo, nebo obetovat sebe ostatnim, coz je povazovano za dobro. Randova v tomto souboru clanku predstavuje ,nove pojeti egoismu" zalozene na rozumu, ktere vylucuje jakekoli formy obetovani. Sobectvi neni synonymem pro ,delat, co se cloveku zlibi". Moralni principy vychazeji z reality a lidske prirozenosti jako rozumovych bytosti, ktere musi myslet a jednat, aby zily a dosahly stesti. Moralka identifikuje jednani podporujici lidsky zivot, jako jsou ctnosti produktivity, nezavisleho mysleni, integrity, poctivosti, spravedlnosti a hrdosti, vsechny vychazejici z racionality. Racionalni sobectvi nevylucuje soukromou dobrovolnou charitu, ktera by mohla fungovat v mnohem vetsim meritku bez statniho zdaneni. Lide by rozhodovali o tom, kdo si charitu zaslouzi, a ti, kdo ji potrebuji, by byli dostatecne podporovani. Nicmene charita neni meritkem uslechtilosti; moralka ma lidem poskytnout navod, jak zit, nikoli jak pomahat ostatnim. Jak Randova ukazuje, pojmovy chaos se netyka jen moralky, ale i spravedlnosti, individualismu, prava a kapitalismu. Zmatek vznika predevsim na urovni abstraktnich pojmu, pricemz sobectvi je klicovym pojmem, ktery je treba uvest na pravou miru, aby se zmenilo mysleni o moralce a hodnotach dobra a zla.…

Rozsahly, vlivny a kontroverzni roman Ayn Randove vysel poprve v roce 1957 a dodneska je jeji nejproslulejsi a nejprodavanejsi knihou. Randova se venovala predevsim filosofii, vypracovala vlastni smer zvany objektivismus. K nemu patri eticky egoismus ci racionalni sledovani vlastniho zajmu. Ve svem romanu vyuziva postupu science-fiction, detektivky i milostne romance. Dej tohoto dila je zasazen do dystopicke budoucnosti Spojenych statu, v ktere se prosazuji socialisticke tendence, regulace a dane. Ustredni premisu knihy metaforicky vyjadruje nazev: co se stane, kdyz se Atlas, ktery na svych ramenou nese svet, rozhneva a svet z ramen shodi? Co se stane, kdyz tvurci mozky - vudci byznysmeni, vedci, vynalezci, umelci. -, kteri udrzuji svet v chodu, zacnou stavkovat? Tento motiv demonstruje, ze kdyz se znici lidske usilovani o vlastni zisk a prospech, povede to ke zhrouceni cele spolecnosti. …

First in her native language - at last --- Beautiful copy of the rare first Russian edition of Rand's celebrated novel, translated by a 'randian' follower and character. Gradually, after its publication in 1943, the novel The Fountainhead about a gifted architect resisting the compromises of a collectivist establishment became a bestseller and brought fame to Alisa Rozenbaum, the Russian lady born in St. Petersburg who became famous in America as Ayn Rand (190582). Despite her international fame, "Rand remained entirely unknown in the USSR. Her books were not translated into Russian in the West [.] The first brief references to Ayn Rand in Russian literature mostly negative began to appear in the 1980s and early 1990s. Literary scholars and political scientists, who naturally had not read her works but had merely heard of her, criticised her for her extreme individualism and anti-communism" (Nikiforova, our translation here and below). The first Russian translations of Rand's works became possible thanks to Dmitrii Kostygin (b. 1972), who in the 1990s was working as a tour guide when he met Ken Schoolland on his travels. Schoolland had formerly been an economist at the US Department of Commerce and was now Associate Professor of Economics and Director of the Entrepreneurship Center at Hawai'i Pacific University. "After visiting the United States in 1993 at Schoolland's invitation, the 21-year-old Kostygin raised several tens of thousands of dollars from private investors" to publish his translations of Rand's books in Russia: first We the Living, then The Fountainhead, and, around 1997, Atlas Shrugged (Zinchenko). The publisher of our edition is indeed an 'Association of Businessmen of St. Petersburg'. Wider awareness of Rand's work in Russia, however, came more than a decade later, with the second edition of The Fountainhead, alongside other titles in the early 2010s. While translating Rand's books, Kostygin also established several successful retail businesses, meeting one of his principal partners and investors through their shared admiration for Ayn Rand. He appeared in the Russian Forbes top 200 on several occasions in the late 2010s. From 2020 onwards, however, he and his partner, the US investor August Meyer, faced prosecution in Russia on fraud charges. Very rare, as we could trace only two copies in libraries worldwide (Giessen in Germany with WorldCat, to which we could add the St. Petersburg Herzen University) - apparently none in America. We couldn't trace any copies at auction since publication, even in Russia. Provenance: Physical description:Two volumes 8vo. 544 pp., 416 pp. Publisher's illustrated boards.

Ist er ein Zerstorer oder der grosste Befreier aller Zeiten? Warum kampft er nicht gegen seine Feinde, sondern gegen diejenigen, die ihn am meisten brauchen, und fuhrt seine harteste Schlacht gegen die Frau, die er liebt? Was ist der Motor der Welt und die Antriebskraft jedes Menschen? Antworten auf diese Fragen offenbaren sich in den ratselhaften Ereignissen, die das Leben der Figuren auf den Kopf stellen. Der Roman entfaltet ein erstaunliches Panorama des menschlichen Lebens, beginnend mit einem produktiven Genie, das zum Playboy verkommt, uber einen Stahlmagnaten, der unwissentlich an seiner eigenen Zerstorung mitwirkt, einen Philosophen, der zum Piraten wird, einen Komponisten, der in der Nacht seines Durchbruchs aufhort, bis hin zur Frau, die eine transkontinentale Eisenbahngesellschaft leitet, und dem niedersten Gleisarbeiter in den unterirdischen Gangen. Beim Lesen mussen Sie bereit sein, Ihre Uberzeugungen zu hinterfragen. Es geht nicht um einen Mord, sondern um die Ermordung des menschlichen Geistes und dessen Wiedergeburt. Dieser Roman ist eine philosophische Revolution in Form eines radikalen, brillanten Actionthrillers. Denken Sie, das sei unmoglich? Das ist die erste Ihrer Pramissen, die es zu uberprufen gilt.…
