Description
Ideal by Ayn Rand is a novel that explores the complexities of human values through the story of actress Kay Gonda. Accused of murder, she turns to six fans who have written letters to her, each representing their ideal - a respectable family man, a far-left activist, a cynical artist, an evangelist, a playboy, and a lost soul. As Kay seeks answers from these individuals, their reactions reveal the secret selves and true values of those who wrote to her. This unique novel, written in 1934 as a book but later transformed into a play by Ayn Rand, now presents both versions for the first time ever. An introduction by Leonard Peikoff provides insight into the creative process behind Ideal. This edition offers readers a rare opportunity to explore the evolution of Ayn Rand's work and compare the novel with its subsequent adaptation as a play.
