<b>AYN RAND’S CLASSIC WORK!</b>
<br>
<br>
<b>Hailed as one of Russian-American writer Ayn Rand's greatest works, <i>Anthem,</i> a dystopian fiction novella, was a clear predecessor to her later masterpieces, </b>
<b><i>The Fountainhead </i>and <i>Atlas Shrugged.</i></b>
<i> I</i>n it she examines a frightening future in which individuals have no name, no independence, and no values. All decisions are made by committee, all people live in collectives, and all traces of individualism have been wiped out.
<br>
<br>A young man rebels by doing secret scientific research because the spark of individual thought and freedom still burns in him, even though he has been taught it is sinful. When his activity is discovered, he is marked for death for committing the ultimate sin. He flees into the wilderness with the girl he loves. Together they plan to establish a new society based on rediscovered individualism and they live together in the forest. Trying to express their love for one another, they at first lack the words to speak of love as individuals. When one of them discovers the word "I" they realize they have rediscovered individuality and plan a future in which they will regain it.

<b>“My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal. It is its own purpose.” ― Ayn Rand, Anthem</b>
<br>
<br>Rand originally conceived of the story as a play, then decided to write for magazine publication. At her agent's suggestion, she submitted it to book publishers and it was first published in the United Kingdom in 1938 only after her next novel,
<i>The Fountainhead, </i>became a bestseller.
