Ayn Rand (2004) (A biography by Jeff Britting)

Ayn Rand made a profound impact both as a philosopher who defined a new philosophic system, Objectivism, and as a novelist of penetrating insight and vision. Her novels are based on heroic ideals, demonstrating her famous maxim (from which she drew the title of her first best-seller) that, “man’s ego is the fountainhead of human progress.” The photos and illustrations in this volume have been hand-selected from the Ayn Rand Archives, and most have never been published.
