    About this audiobook

    Anthem is a dystopian fiction novella by Russian-American writer Ayn Rand, written in 1937 and first published in 1938 in the United Kingdom. The story takes place at an unspecified future date when mankind has entered another Dark Age. Technological advancement is now carefully planned and the concept of individuality has been eliminated. A young man known as Equality 7-2521 rebels by doing secret scientific research. When his activity is discovered, he flees into the wilderness with the girl he loves. Together they plan to establish a new society based on rediscovered individualism.

    Ayn Rand

    Ayn Rand (San Petersburgo, 1905; Nueva York, 1982) fue una escritora y filósofa nacida en Rusia y nacionalizada estadounidense. Tras publicar sus dos primeras novelas, Los que vivimos (1936) e Himno (1938), el éxito le llegó con El manantial (1943) y La rebelión de Atlas (1957), su obra cumbre. En ellas, Rand desarrolló su filosofía, conocida como Objetivismo, en la que concretiza su original visión del hombre como «un ser heroico, con su propia felicidad como el propósito moral de su vida, con el logro productivo como su actividad más noble, y con la razón como su único absoluto».  Más tarde, establecería los fundamentos teóricos de dicha filosofía en sus libros de no ficción: Introducción a la epistemología objetivista (1979), La virtud del egoísmo (1964), Capitalismo: el ideal desconocido (1966) y El manifiesto romántico (1969). Deusto ha publicado sus obras completas. Su legado continúa siendo enormemente influyente entre conservadores y libertarios, tanto en Estados Unidos como en el resto del mundo, porque choca de frente contra la inercia cultural adquirida, cuestionando el eje «misticismo-altruismo-colectivismo» y sustituyéndolo por una filosofía basada en «razón-egoísmo-capitalismo».

    • 2/5
      Ayn Rand is the best critic of her own philosophy. Too bad she never realized it.
    • 5/5
      Great narrator! Great dramatization of collectivist vs individualist paradigms! Great development of the protagonist!
    • 4/5
      A book that tells the horror of a utopia gone bad, where individualism is a crime punishable by death. At the end, the protagonist spells out its polar opposite, a worldview built upon individualism. The only reason I docked this book a star is that, like other of her books, females are made silent and subservient to men. Women are capable of individualism too, but nowhere does this idea really take root in this book. Otherwise, this is an excellent book.
