Synopsis

"Distributed by the University of Nebraska Press for Caxton Press"
A new generation has discovered that Rand's "Anthem" is more socially relevant today than it was when it was written seventy-five years ago. "Anthem" is the classic story about the consequences of social collectivism and the importance of individualism. "Anthem" has been described as "one of the most important prose poems ever written."

About this title

Review:

"In her usage of the English language she combines clarity of expression with prose of poetic grace. Here, indeed, is an anthem-an anthem, not in the idiom of music, but in the more difficult medium of words alone. This is the most beautiful, the most inspiring novel this reviewer has ever read. It is an ethical and philosophical rather than a religious dedication to freedom and the individual."--Joan DeArmond, "Fact Forum News"--Joan DeArmond "Fact Forum News "
