Description
Russian-born American emigre Ayn Rand is best known for her espousal of the philosophy of objectivism, centering around the concept of "rational self-interest," a main theme in her fiction and nonfiction. Rand fans enjoy her skill as a powerfully descriptive writer, which is particularly notable since English is not her native language. Adept at metaphor and allegory, Rand is always intellectual and often acerbically polemic. Her works all advocate for the superiority of individualism over collectivism (a reaction against Russia's Communism). Start with: Atlas Shrugged
