Softcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. Leila Ahmed grew up in Cairo in the 1940s and '50s in a family that was eagerly and passionately political. Although many in the Egyptian upper classes were firmly opposed to change, the Ahmeds were proud supporters of independence. But when the Revolution arrived, the family's opposition to Nasser's policies led to persecutions that would throw their lives into turmoil and set their youngest child on a journey across cultures. Through university in England and teaching jobs in Abu Dhabi and America, Leila Ahmed sought to define herself - and to understand how the world defined her - as a woman, a Muslim, an Egyptian, and an Arab. Her search touched on questions of language and nationalism, on differences between men's and women's ways of knowing, and on vastly different interpretations of Islam. She arrived in the end as an ardent but critical feminist with an insider's understanding of multiculturalism and religious pluralism. In language that vividly evokes the lush summers of her Cairo youth and the harsh barrenness of the Arabian desert, Leila Ahmed has given us a story that can help us all to understand the passages between cultures that so affect our global society.

EPOCHAL: AS-NEW virtually NEW: IMPECCABLE: PRESENTATION QUALITY: First Trade Paperback "Plume-Penguin USA" Edition (Orig. August 1999) of the 35th Anniversary Edition (Orig. hardcover March 1992) of Ayn Rand's celebrated best-selling classic (Orig. 1957) w/ no. line showing Thirty-First Printing (c. 2016), NEW handsomely-designed durable heavy laminated card-stock color cover w/ sharp NEW edges & corners displaying celebrated image of a golden "Atlas", IMMACULATE unblemished smooth-cut text-block exterior, NEW perfect binding w/ tight sheets, PRISTINE interior printed w/ handsome clarity on SUPERB unblemished silk-finish paper * 6.00" x 9.00" x 2.00", 1.42 kg, xvi+1168 (1184) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: "To all the readers who discovered "The Fountainhead" & asked me many questions about the wider application of his ideas, I want to say that I am answering you in the present novel, & that "The Fountainhead" was only an overture to "Atlas Shrugged". I trust that no on will tell me that men such as I write about don't exist. That this book has been written (& published) is proof that they do." -Ayn Rand * Ayn Rand's epochal best-selling novel, first published in 1957, is an intellectual landmark. It is the story of a man who said 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, & his hardest battle against the woman he loved? What is the world's motor, & the motive power of every man? These are the questions behind the baffling events that play havoc w/ the lives of the characters in this story. Tremendous in its scope, this novel presents an astounding panorama of human life, from the productive genius who became a worthless playboy . . . to the great steel industrialist who does not know that he is working for his own destruction . . . to the philosopher who becomes a pirate . . . to the composer who gives up his career on the night of his triumph . . . to the woman who runs a transcontinental railroad . . . to the lowest track worker in her Terminal tunnels. This is a riveting mystery, not about the murder of a man's body, but about the murder --(& rebirth)-- of man's spirit. It is a philosophical revolution in the form of an action thriller of violent events, w/ a ruthlessly brilliant plot & irresistible suspense. Peopled by larger-tan-life heroes & villains, male & female, charged w/ awesome questions of good & evil, "Atlas Shrugged" is a giant novel, the supreme triumph & ultimate testament of one of the towering geniuses of our time. This special 35th Anniversary Edition of Ayn Rand's masterwork features an illuminating introduction by Leonard Peikoff, Rand's longtime associate & legal heir. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: AYN RAND'S first novel, "We the Living", was published in 1936. "The Fountainhead" (1943) achieved spectacular & enduring success. Rand's unique philosophy, Objectivism, has gained a worldwide audience. The fundamentals of her philosophy are set forth in her brilliant novels, "The Fountainhead" & "Atlas Shrugged", & in such nonfiction works as "Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology", "For the New Intellectual", "The Virtue of Selfishness", & "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal". A magnificent statement of her artistic credo is available in "The Romantic Manifesto". * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via Mandatory USPS PRIORITY INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.…
