We the Living (75th-Anniversary Deluxe Edition) -- Ayn Rand

<b>The 75th anniversary of Ayn Rand's powerful and passionate first novel. </b> <p/> In this tensely dramatic story, Ayn Rand shows what the theories of Communism mean in practice. <p/> <i>We the Living</i> is not a story of politics, but of the men and women who have to struggle for existence behind the Red banners and slogans. It is a picture of what dictatorship-of any kind-does to human beings. What happens to the defiant ones? What happens to those who succumb? Who are the winners in this conflict? <p/> Against a vivid panorama of political revolution and personal revolt, Ayn Rand offers an answer that challenges the modern conscience.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Ayn Rand<br><b>Publisher:</b> New American Library<br><b>Published:</b> 06/28/2011<br><b>Pages:</b> 464<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.11lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.91h x 6.16w x 1.23d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780451233264<br><b>Age Range:</b> 18-UP<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Born February 2, 1905, <b>Ayn Rand</b> published her first novel, <i>We the Living</i>, in 1936. <i>Anthem</i> followed in 1938.
