Über den Autor
Ayn Rand, 1905 - 1982 Novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand was born Alice Rosenbaum on February 2, 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. She graduated with highest honors in history from the University of Petrograd in 1924, and she came to the United States in 1926 with dreams of becoming a screenwriter. In mehr anzeigen 1929, she married actor Charles "Frank" O'Connor. After arriving in Hollywood, Rand was spotted by Cecil B. DeMille standing at the gate of his studio and gave her a job as an extra in King of Kings. She also worked as a script reader and a wardrobe girl and, in 1932, she sold Red Pawn to Universal Studios. In the 1950's, she returned to New York City where she hosted a Saturday night group she called "the collective." It was also during this time that Rand received a fan letter from a young man, Nathaniel Branden. She was impressed with his letter, and she wrote him back. Her correspondence with him eventually led to an affair that lasted over a decade. He became her chief spokesperson and codified the principles of her novels into a strict philosophical system (objectivism) and founded an institute bearing his name. Their affair ended in 1968 when Branden got involved with another one of Rand's disciples. According to Rand, people are inherently selfish and act only out of personal interest making a selfish act, a rational one. It is from this belief that her characters play out their lives. Rand's first novel was "We the Living" (1936) and was followed by "Anthem" (1938), "The Fountainhead" (1943), and "Atlas Shrugged" (1957). All four of her novels made the top ten of the controversial list of the 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century. On March 6, 1982, Ayn Rand died in her New York City apartment.

- Ayn Rand was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, on February 2, 1905. In order to escape the fighting in the Russian Revolution, her family went to the Crimea, where she finished high school. When her family returned from the Crimea, she entered the University of Petrograd to study philosophy and history, graduating in 1924, when she entered the State Institute for Cinema Arts in 1924 to study screenwriting. It was at this time that she was first published: a booklet on actress Pola Negri (1925) and a booklet titled “Hollywood: American Movie City” (1926).
In late 1925 she obtained permission to leave Soviet Russia for a visit to relatives in the United States. Ayn Rand died on March 6, 1982, in her New York City apartment.

Epic? More like a slog. Yeah, I couldn't agree more with a lot of the basics in here. But the story is like a continous series of deus-ex-machina events being handled by uber-perfect humans. There is no suspense, as everything is predictable after a little while.
So, read it for the philosophy, not for the fiction. If ou want to cut it short, only read "This is John Galt Speaking".

„Wenn wir unsere intellektuellen Anführer fragen, für welche Ideen wir kämpfen sollen, so besteht die Antwort aus einem wiedergekäuten Kaugummi – aus wohlmeinenden Plattitüden und entschuldigenden Allgemeinplätzen über Bruderliebe, globalen Fortschritt und universellen Wohlstand.“ (Ayn Rand)
Nach den Granden der SPD hat Deutschland abseits der Sprache keine Kultur mehr und muss alles täglich neu aushandeln. So bleibt einem selbst die Spucke im Hals stecken und die Herrschaften der SPD beschimpfen all jene intellektuellen Richtungen, die eins klar machen: dass Vernunft wieder zum zentralen Maßstab gemacht werden sollte und nicht Wunschträume.
Nach AR gehören die Deutschen welcher ihrer grundlegenden Typen an?
Dem:
Wilden ?
Mystiker ?
Denker ?
Nun, Deutschland heute ist fest in der Hand der Wilden und der Mystiker. Ob man sie Ideologie oder Religion nennt, spielt keine Rolle, 1 und 2 haben seit Urzeiten die Sache im Griff, während der Dritte im Bunde, der Denker oder Produzent, von den anderen gemaßregelt und geblendet wird, obwohl er maßgeblich Technik und Wissenschaft vorangebracht hat.
Wer Ayn Rand gelesen hat, weiß, dass die Linken und die SPD grundlegend versagt haben, bloße mystische Verzückungen und Memorialreligion ist ihr Thema, aber ursächlich nach vorne haben sie nichts bewegt.
AR ruft ihnen zu: „Kämpft um das, was das Menschen des Menschen ausmacht: um einen souveränen, rationalen Verstand.“
Ayn Rand ist schlicht eine Offenbarung, sie kämpfte ebenso wie Enzensberger gegen diese Drift: „In der Abenddämmerung der Sozialdemokratie hat dagegen Rousseau noch einmal gesiegt. Sie haben nicht die Produktionsmittel, sondern die Therapie verstaatlicht. Dass der Mensch von Natur aus gut sei, diese merkwürdige Idee hat in der Sozialarbeit ihr letztes Reservat. Pastorale Motive gehen dabei eine seltsame Mischung ein mit angejahrten Milieu- und Sozialisationstheorien und mit einer entkernten Version der Psychoanalyse. Solche Vormünder nehmen in ihrer grenzenlosen Gutmütigkeit den Verirrten jede Verantwortung für ihr Handeln ab.“ („Aussichten auf den Bürgerkrieg“, 1994, S. 37)… (mehr)
