Synopsis "Anthem "

Anthem is Ayn Rand's classic tale of a dystopian future of the great "We"--a world that deprives individuals of a name or independence--that anticipates her later masterpieces, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. They existed only to serve the state. They were conceived in controlled Palaces of Mating. They died in the Home of the Useless. From cradle to grave, the crowd was one--the great WE. In all that was left of humanity there was only one man who dared to think, seek, and love. He lived in the dark ages of the future. In a loveless world, he dared to love the woman of his choice. In an age that had lost all trace of science and civilization, he had the courage to seek and find knowledge. But these were not the crimes for which he would be hunted. He was marked for death because he had committed the unpardonable sin: He had stood forth from the mindless human herd. He was a man alone. He had rediscovered the lost and holy word--I. "I worship individuals for their highest possibilities as individuals, and I loathe humanity, for its failure to live up to these possibilities."--Ayn Rand

Ayn Rand (St. Petersburg, 1905; New York, 1982) was a writer and philosopher born in Russia and naturalized American. After publishing her first two novels, We the Living (1936) and Anthem (1938), she achieved success with The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957), her magnum opus. In these works, Rand developed her philosophy, known as Objectivism, in which she concretizes her original vision of man as «a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute».

Later, she would establish the theoretical foundations of this philosophy in her non-fiction books: Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology (1979), The Virtue of Selfishness (1964), Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal (1966), and The Romantic Manifesto (1969).

Her legacy continues to be enormously influential among conservatives and libertarians, both in the United States and around the world, because it directly confronts the acquired cultural inertia, challenging the axis «mysticism-altruism-collectivism» and replacing it with a philosophy based on: «reason-selfishness-capitalism».
