Atlas Shrugged

Helpful Score: 1


Atlas Shrugged challenges thousands of years of altruism and collectivism in human civilization. It is a mystery novel, not about the murder of a man, but the murder of mankind's spirit and the struggle to bring it back. The novel unites metaphysics, ethics, economics and romantic love. These elements, combined with the novel's scope and depth, lead the reader into Ayn Rand's world, where he discovers and enters the lost Atlantis, a world of moral giants.
