Sobre este artículo
SIGNED and Numbered by Ayn Rand, presented is copy #1920, one of 2000 Tenth Anniversary Signed Limited Edition copies. Atlas Shrugged, Rand's magnum opus, her celebration of the value of individual life and productive achievement, is the one novel which, she once announced with unblinking immodesty, is "completely my sense of life, without reservations." (Robert Mayhew, Essays on Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged). "Man's life is not the life of a mindless brute, of a looting thug or a mooching mystic--not life by means of force or fraud, but life by means of achievement" (Atlas Shrugged). Octavo, original blue cloth, original slipcase. Bound in blue cloth boards with gilt lettering, measuring 6" x 8.75". Very good copy, hinges a tad tender but holding, in the original slipcase with evidence of wear, toning and handling. Some Rand collectors acquire only her two Signed Limited Editions because of their self-guaranteed authenticity. (Rand's other Signed Limited Edition title is Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, also available.) Book #vP1136. $3295. From the world's largest collection of Rare, Signed, and Manuscript, and Photographed Ayn Rand in private hands.
Sinopsis
Ayn Rand in her most controversial book yet, depicts a dystopian United State. A world of private businesses that are increasingly penalized and weighted through laws and regulations, stepping over the people who carry out that labor. As a mysterious figure, John Gault appears on the scene; the country’s top banker, an oil producer, a professor, a composer, and a distinguished judge disappear without a trace, abandoning their professions and loved ones. In turn a revolution begins, creating a new society based on the ‘philosophy of selfishness’ in efforts to be dismissed from the exploitation of those with authority and power. Atlas Shrugged “is a mystery story, not about the murder of a man’s body, but about the murder — and rebirth — of man’s spirit.” -Ayn Rand
Reseñas
El Jun 7 2017, un lector dijo:
Atlas Shrugged is perhaps the greatest, most revealing novel ever written. It is larger than life, and a truly philosophical, dramatic, exalting, and suspenseful read.

A life changimg read.
El Dec 7 2004, Pazzo Books dijo:
If you liked The Fountainhead but thought the philosophy took a back seat to character development and plot, Atlas Shrugged is great - not concerning itself with such outmoded details like characters who might exist and avoiding exposition, Atlas Shrugged is the most pedantic, two-dimensional book ever. Huzzah.
