ATLAS SHRUGGED

- first
New York: Random House, 1957. First edition, First Issue. Thick 8vo, publisherĆs original green cloth decorated in gilt on the upper cover and in gilt and black on the spine, in the original and first issue dustjacket with 10/57 and price of $6.95 on the front flap and publisherĆs full address on the rear flap. 1168 pp. A very fine copy of this highly sought after book. Internally fine, bright, clean and fresh, the cloth in excellent condition, near as pristine, the dustjacket also beautifully preserved, unusually bright and clean and handsome and without wear. A superb copy. FIRST EDITION IN SUPERB CONDITION OF THIS AYN RAND MASTERPIECE AND A CLASSIC OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. Considered her magnum opus in fiction writing. It explores a dystopian United States and includes elements of mystery and science fiction, and it also contains Rand's most extensive statement of Objectivism in any of her works.
ôTremendous in its scope, this novel presents an astounding panorama of human life--from the productive genius who becomes a worthless playboy--to the great steel industrialist who does not know that he is working for his own destruction--to the philosopher who becomes a pirate--to the composer who gives up his career on the night of his triumph--to the woman who runs a transcontinental railroad--to the lowest track worker in her Terminal tunnels.
You must be prepared, when you read this novel, to check every premise at the root of your convictions. This is a mystery story, not about the murder of a manĆs body, but about the murder--and rebirth--of manĆs spirit. It is a philosophical revolution, told in the form of an action thriller of violent events, a ruthlessly brilliant plot structure and an irresistible suspense.ö From an advertisement.
