Summary:
EDITORIAL REVIEW: **The first literary work of one of the most influential
philosophers and novelists of the twentieth century-available
for the first time in trade paperback.** Ayn Rand wrote of her first novel, *We the Living*, "It is
as near to an autobiography as I will ever write. The plot is
invented, the background is not...The specific events of Kira's
life were not mine: her ideas, her convictions, her values,
were and are." *We the Living* depicts the struggle of the
individual against the state, and the impact of the Russian
Revolution on three human beings who demand the right to live
their own lives and pursue their own happiness. It tells of a
young woman's passionate love, held like a fortress against the
corrupting evil of a totalitarian state. This classic novel is not a story of politics, but of the
men and women who have to struggle for existence behind the
banners and slogans.
