Description
Ayn Rand's magnum opus, Atlas Shrugged, is a philosophical revolution told in the form of an action thriller. The story revolves around a mysterious figure known as John Galt, who claims to be fighting against the forces that seek to destroy human productivity and creativity.
As the lives of the main characters become increasingly entangled, the reader is presented with a complex web of motivations and conflicts. A productive genius becomes a worthless playboy, a great steel industrialist works against his own interests, and a beautiful woman who runs a transcontinental railroad falls in love with the man she has sworn to kill.
This modern classic offers a powerful exploration of human greatness, depicted with the poetry and power of one of the twentieth century's leading artists. With its unique blend of philosophy and action, Atlas Shrugged is a thought-provoking read that challenges the reader to consider the nature of good and evil.
