PENGUIN Anthem

They really need to cover this in junior high

A must read book and quality is satisfactory considering the price👍🏻

If you haven't heard about Ayn Rand, the author of "Atlas Shrugged" and "The Fountainhead", nor read any of her works, start with this tiny short novel. The story is set in an unprecised future, in which society is shred among cities ruled by communist-like governments: every form of egoism is strictly forbidden and free will is banished as well. The protagonist (Equality 7- 2521) writes a diary about his life and the events that led him to flee from the city in search of freedom. Even though the novel is just a prelude to Atlas Shrugged, it conveys the ideas that made Ayn Rand an important liberal philosopher and it has the great advantage of concision. Start with it, then I bet you will consider reading Atlas Shrugged too.

In order to end the never ending political challanges that s taking the wonderful world into chaos.

Le genre de livre qui ne colle à la peau et vous suit partout, parce que vous voulez toujours lire une ligne de plus (même lorsqu'il est temps de descendre du train)Anthem (comme les autres) est plus qu'une fiction; c'est toute une philosophie!Et écrit de façon si simple, mais avec une profondeur telle que vous ne pouvez pas y restez indifférent.Un must pour toute personne qui a besoin de retrouver son identité ou simplement de l'assumer, dans un monde où le "nous" prévaut sur le "je".
