Atlas Shrugged (three volumes in one book)
Ayn Rand
What is the book about?
Socialists come to power in the USA,... and the government takes a course towards "equal opportunity," believing it fair to make the useless and talentless wealthy at the expense of the talented and affluent. Persecution of business leads to the destruction of the economy, and one by one, talented people and the best entrepreneurs begin to disappear under mysterious circumstances. The main characters of the novel, steel king Hank Rearden and the vice president of a railroad company Dagny Taggart, futilely attempt to resist the tragic events. Instead of universal prosperity, society plunges into apathy and chaos.
This is a worldview-changing book, it forms a holistic vision of the world and provides answers to questions about the meaning of human life and the social significance of entrepreneurship.
According to public opinion polls conducted in 1991 by the Library of Congress and the "Book of the Month Club" in America, "Atlas Shrugged" is the second most influential book after the Bible that has led to changes in the lives of American readers.
This book made it to The New York Times bestseller list three days after its release and remained there for 21 weeks.
This is the most significant work in the writer's life, which took 12 years of her life to complete.
