Ayn Rand Boeken

Ayn Rand's first published novel, a timeless story that explores the struggles of the individual against the state in Soviet Russia. First published in 1936, We the Living portrays the impact of the Russian Revolution on three human beings who demand the right to live their own lives and pursue their own happiness. It tells of a young woman’s passionate love, held like a fortress against the corrupting evil of a totalitarian state. We the Living is not a story of politics, but of the men and women who have to struggle for existence behind the Red banners and slogans. It is a picture of what those slogans do to human beings. What happens to the defiant ones? What happens to those who succumb? Against a vivid panorama of political revolution and personal revolt, Ayn Rand shows what the theory of socialism means in practice. Includes an Introduction and Afterword by Ayn Rand’s Philosophical Heir, Leonard Peikoff

The Fountainhead studies the conflict between artistic genius and social convention, a theme Ayn Rand later developed into the idealistic philosophy knows as Objectivism. Rand's hero is Howard Roark, a brilliant young architect who won't compromise his integrity, especially in the unconventional buildings he designs. Roark is engaged in ideological warfare with a society that despises him, an architectural community that doesn't understand him, and a woman who loves him but wants to destroy him. His struggle raises questions about society's attitude toward revolutionaries. Since this book's publication in 1943, Rand's controversial ideas have made her one of the best-selling authors of all time.

A collection of essays that sets forth the moral principles of Objectivism, Ayn Rand's controversial, groundbreaking philosophy. Since their initial publication, Rand's fictional works—Anthem, The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged—have had a major impact on the intellectual scene. The underlying theme of her famous novels is her philosophy, a new morality—the ethics of rational self-interest—that offers a robust challenge to altruist-collectivist thought. Known as Objectivism, her divisive philosophy holds human life—the life proper to a rational being—as the standard of moral values and regards altruism as incompatible with man's nature. In this series of essays, Rand asks why man needs morality in the first place, and arrives at an answer that redefines a new code of ethics based on the virtue of selfishness.

«Я так скажу — научил очень многому и в то же время ничему не научил. Ведь, по сути дела, никто не может научить тебя, в смысле самую твою сердцевину. В глубине души ты сам все знаешь. И то, что ты делаешь, — это только твое, не мое, не чье-нибудь. Я могу только научить тебя лучше доводить детали. Я могу дать тебе средства, но цель — цель принадлежит только тебе.»Айн Рэнд (1905–1982) – наша бывшая соотечественница, ставшая крупнейшей американской писательницей. Автор четырех романов-бестселлеров и многочисленных статей. Создатель философской концепции, в основе которой лежит принцип свободы воли, главенство рациональности и "нравственность разумного эгоизма".На протяжении десятилетий роман "Источник" держится в списке мировых бестселлеров, став классикой для миллионов читателей. Главные герои романа – архитектор Говард Рорк и журналистка Доминик Франкон – отстаивают свободу творческой личности в борьбе с обществом, где ценят "равные возможности" для всех. Вместе и поодиночке, друг с другом и друг против друга, но всегда – наперекор устоям толпы. Они – индивидуалисты, их миссия – творить и преобразовывать мир. Обо всём этом и не только в книге Источник (Айн Рэнд)
