Product Information

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--n ominated 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.

"Atlas Shrugged is a classic. It's a classic in a lot of ways--not least of which is that it is still printed 54 years after it was written. It's a classic because its author, Ayn Rand, a Russian Jewish emigre, had the chutzpah to propose it at a time when it was unpopular to speak ill of what was later known as The Establishment. It's also a classic, because it reads like a black and white movie of its era. Men wear cuffed-pants suits and trench coats, and are either heroic or simply cads. Women are pushovers or goddesses with male temperaments, who jump into commandeered planes and fly them like Chuck Yeager. All heroes are blond-haired and blue-eyed. No, not kidding.

It's a classic in a lot of ways--not least of which is that it is still printed 54 years after it was written. It's a classic because its author, Ayn Rand, a Russian Jewish emigre, had the chutzpah to propose it at a time when it was unpopular to speak ill of what was later known as The Establishment. It's also a classic, because it reads like a black and white movie of its era. Men wear cuffed-pants suits and trench coats, and are either heroic or simply cads. Women are pushovers or goddesses with male temperaments, who jump into commandeered planes and fly them like Chuck Yeager. All heroes are blond-haired and blue-eyed. No, not kidding. Companies are named after their sole proprietors, not after cynical quasi-words that can be trademarked, like "Accenture," or "Inspirographics." The high-tech company of the story is a railroad that still uses steam locomotives in some locations, and of course jointed rail, which makes the once-familiar clickety-clack sound under the wheels. Wikipedia reports that Atlas Shrugged was largely panned by critics when it was issued. It's understandable, given the simplistic characters, melodramatic story lines and stilted dialogue that is straight from Dragnet or Highway Patrol. But one of the reasons that Atlas shrugs to this day (and had funding for a 2011 "part 1"movie released on a limited basis) is that Ms. Rand was no less an observer of man than was Alexis de Tocqueville. What she foresaw is the dissipation of America through the many safety nets its largely well-meaning "liberals" have constructed and which is often presented nowadays as "The Nanny State." It is not too much to call her prescient. As we lose our grip and slide into a depression, the "D" word that our entrenched government system will not utter, we mirror the events of Atlas Shrugged. We see recent welfare recipient General Motors offering signing bonuses for new workers (September, 2011) in the face of high unemployment; how can we but understand that it is a rebate to the unions who supported the Democratic admininstration, along with the congress who voted the bailout. All of this is analogous to events of the book, for example, where railroad executives are pressured to give workers higher wages and feathered beds, even as their employer goes broke. I couldn't say that I'd recommend Atlas Shrugged to everyone, because there are few who could stand to read all of its 1,000+ pages, while ignoring the many literary and circumstantial anachronisms that are the book's corpus. But for those, like me, who wanted to know who John Galt is, it's worthwhile. Sort of a plot spoiler, but however heroic John Galt might be, he's rather a gasbag. He goes on for 50 pages or so with his manifesto. Of course, we know that it's really Ms. Rand who is speaking, and Mr. Galt is only the fictitious deliverer of her Objectivist Philosophy's Mein Kampf to a worldwide radio audience (itself made possible by the familiar sci-fi trope of a shocking mass media hijack by unexplained means). Orwell's Animal Farm and 1984, and Huxley's Brave New World satirized communism, but Atlas Shrugged, whether it realizes it or not, takes a larger swipe at what we have come to know as capitalism. Of course, its intended wrath goes towards machine politics and totalitarianism, but ultimately, Rand's heroic capitalists are indifferent to the outsiders in the world they inhabit. Rand's system, like libertarianism in any guise, is r

Who is John Galt?
Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's masterpiece work. Deeply developed characters, intricately and concisely described, and given colorful, appropriate names, act out a mesmerizing story. The book showcases Ayn Rand's philosophy of "objectivism". This should be a must read for our high school students today. The main reason it likely won't be is the book's over 1000 page length. Do not be dissuaded by the book's length, however. It does not have to be read in one sitting. Much like a captivating mini-series on TV, Atlas Shrugged will have you longing to get back to the next installment. Although it was written in 1957, it takes little imagination to see the story being played out today. "Who is John Galt?" The question runs throughout the ...

Much like a captivating mini-series on TV, Atlas Shrugged will have you longing to get back to the next installment. Although it was written in 1957, it takes little imagination to see the story being played out today. "Who is John Galt?" The question runs throughout the story and is asked repeatedly. Indeed, just who is John Galt? Dagny Taggart, the dynamic and driven female protagonist of Atlas Shrugged, wrestles with the meaning of the phrase as she heads the operations of the railroad that she and her brother James Taggart own. A stronger lead character can scarcely be found. The realness of the characters, the multiple venues, so vividly described, and the several mysteries woven into the tale make this an excellent read. Why else, more than half a century after it was written would Atlas Shrugged still be such a great selling book? Perhaps it is because people can see so much of what is happening in American politics today reflected precisely in the story Ayn Rand wrote, and realize that the current philosophy being pursued is one that does not play well in Atlas Shrugged. This book comes highly recommended.

Wonderful message but lacking in excitement.
I bought this book to read for a scholarship. I loved the story behind it and it drew my attention at first. However when I kept reading it, I got rather bored and it did not keep my attention. I can not and will not say that I dislike the book as it's meaning is a wonderful one. I will say I personally think that to write a great book. You not only need a wonderful meaning but excitement to keep the viewers attention. Take the Harry Potter series. Harry Potter books have wonderful meanings in them and many at that. They also have imagination and excitement. What will happen next? You think eagerly sitting on your seat, turning the page reading the next one. That is a good book!

Most Important Novel of the Twentieth Century
Atlas Shrugged is an epic tome that requires a certain dedication to finish. It is a complex novel with many seemingly unrelated story threads converging ultimately upon the climax. It has many larger than life characters accomplishing great achievements through the rigorous application of that uniquely human quality: reason. They struggle mightily against anti-reason, mediocrity, fakery, and the quest for the unearned. The author casts moral issues in black and white so that there can be no mistaking good for evil or evil for good. In that sense, it is harsh. There is no retreat from obvious conclusions. But it illuminates many mysteries of modern life and makes sense out of many complex issues that have baffled most of us. The characters are used to demonstrate the power of ... Atlas Shrugged is an epic tome that requires a certain dedication to finish. It is a complex novel with many seemingly unrelated story threads converging ultimately upon the climax. It has many larger than life characters accomplishing great achievements through the rigorous application of that uniquely human quality: reason. They struggle mightily against anti-reason, mediocrity, fakery, and the quest for the unearned. The author casts moral issues in black and white so that there can be no mistaking good for evil or evil for good. In that sense, it is harsh. There is no retreat from obvious conclusions. But it illuminates many mysteries of modern life and makes sense out of many complex issues that have baffled most of us. The characters are used to demonstrate the power of reason and the nature of its enemies. And so the book becomes a great philosophical work as well as a novel, building upon Aristotle's principles of logic and arguing successfully the case for the power of thought and the transmission of thought into action. It shows man as he could and should be, alongside the antithesis. The reader is left with a clear understanding of life's most essential truth: To be or not to be is the choice to think or not to think. Anyone who reads and understands this novel comes away changed forever. His universe will have become integrated. He will know that all things are explainable in reality, even if the explanation has not yet been discovered. He will be secure in the knowledge that reality is what it is, and that the job of the human mind is to discover it. Atlas Shrugged is hated and denounced in many religious circles because it shines the light of reason into the murky darkness of mysticism that constitutes modern superstition. It shows that an act of faith is a crime against reason and, therefore, against the mind. The only criticism I could honestly level against this great work is that the author strives so hard to make her philosophical points that the climax, a speech by the main protagonist, seems belabored. It runs to something like 60 pages hammering home the importance of dedication to reason and reality and skewering their abandonment. Most thinking people will get the point and become thoroughly convinced long before the speech is concluded. The reason this book remains relevant enough to sustain continued sales almost 50 years after it was published is not its value as a complex novel, but that the author is absolutely right on most of her philosophical points. And by demonstrating them larger than life in the novel's characters, she makes them both understandable and believable. As long as thinking people want to make sense out of life and the universe, Atlas Shrugged will sell.

Most inspiring novel ever written, if you love life!
If you like an action novel with adult-size, believable heroes, living in the same world you live in...and, at the same time, the kind of story which makes you re-think every idea you've ever heard or lived your life by...you'll love Atlas Shrugged. In it, you'll meet Dagny Taggart a woman who runs a continental railroad. You'll meet Francisco Domingo Carlos Andres Sebastian de Anconia, the latest heir of a worldwide copper empire, which he blows up, appearing to become a worthless playboy, for a reason you can't even guess for 2/3 of the novel. You'll meet Hank Rearden, the archetypical self-made industrialist, who invents a totally new kind of metal, lighter and stronger than steel. He cannot understand why, not only his country, but also his family do not appreciate his creativity ... If you like an action novel with adult-size, believable heroes, living in the same world you live in...and, at the same time, the kind of story which makes you re-think every idea you've ever heard or lived your life by...you'll love Atlas Shrugged.

You'll meet Francisco Domingo Carlos Andres Sebastian de Anconia, the latest heir of a worldwide copper empire, which he blows up, appearing to become a worthless playboy, for a reason you can't even guess for 2/3 of the novel. You'll meet Hank Rearden, the archetypical self-made industrialist, who invents a totally new kind of metal, lighter and stronger than steel. He cannot understand why, not only his country, but also his family do not appreciate his creativity and productivity. He discovers why, over the course of the novel, the clash between two very opposite moral codes. You'll meet Ragnar Danneskjold, a modern-day, high-seas pirate, who highjacks American cargo ships carrying relief to the failed People's Socialist Paradises around the world. He sells off the cargo for gold, which he uses to reimburse people's income tax to them. And the main character? Him you don't get to meet until 2/3s of the way into the novel. And when you do, you'll have several emotional reactions. one of which is, you may laugh your head off, because you'll realize that the author has laid clues about this character from the first sentence all the way through. This character has let a plot loose in the world of the novel, which will change the world, and you may wish it were happening in your world. And, his reasons will astound you. Those reasons will also cause you to see yourself differently. They'll cause you to understand the people around you in a whole different way. They'll cause you to see the world around you in a new way and, once you do, you won't be able to go back to your original way of seeing it. This is not the kind of novel, after which you've read it that you can barely remember the names of the characters. You'll remember these people for the rest of your life and see them all around you, in the best and worst of the characters of the people you know. The life of the author was as adventurous as all her novels. She was raised in Russia, under the communists and managed to get out of there when she was 21. She came to America, the country she said was founded on her moral principles. She went to Hollywood, hoping to write screenplays, met Cecil B. DeMille, who got her started. She wrote the American classic novel, The Fountainhead, which they turned into a movie, starring Gary Cooper and Patricia Neal. Then, as the result of 13 years of thought and intensive writing, she produced Atlas Shrugged, the book which continues to inspire the love of life and intellectual curiosity of millions of young people, many of whom are becoming the intellectuals who are reshaping the world. Later, came her non-fiction books in which she established herself as a history-changing philsopher. The recommendation of any of her books comes with a warning. She portrays characters doing the unusual, describes physical scenes like a painter paints, and solves age-old problems in technical philosophy...in pure, crystal-clear English. You'll be seduced to read and read. So, the warning is, be sure to eat, drink and sleep between sections of chapters. www.aynrand.org
