Anthem (Reader's Library Classic)

by Ayn Rand

Overview

The secrets of this earth are not for all men to see, but only for those who will seek them.

Do not speak of the Unmentionable Times of the Distant Past. Do not explore the world around you. Do not think of the opposite sex until the annual Time of Mating. Do not question the life role the Council of Vocations assigns you. These are all transgressions that must be purged from society.

Equality 7-2521 has always considered himself a school, and a scholar should always be in pursuit of the truth. From one transgression to the next, Equality 7-2521 first begins to explore the forbidden places, and soon, he finds himself conducting science experiments.

About the Author

Ayn Rand (1905-1982) is best known for her books Anthem, Atlas Shrugged, and The Fountainhead. The Russian born American author and philosopher was very critical of communism and an advocate of capitalism. Rand's unique philosophy, Objectivism, has gained a worldwide audience. The fundamentals of her philosophy are put forth in three nonfiction books, Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology, The Virtues of Selfishness, and Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal. Though her books and beliefs have faced much criticism from academia, she is still championed by many contemporary conservatives and libertarians.
