    Ayn Rand: ANTHEM: The use of the word "I" is now outlawed

    Written by Ayn Rand

    Narrated by philip chenevert

    About this audiobook

    This Novella by Ayn Rand was first published in England in 1938. It takes place at some unspecified future date when mankind has entered another dark age characterized by irrationality, collectivism, and socialistic thinking and economics. Technological advancement is now carefully planned (when it is allowed to occur at all) and the concept of individuality has been eliminated (for example, the use of the word "I" is punishable by death). Rand, as a teenager living in Soviet Russia, initially conceived Anthem as a play. This is a novel upholding Rand's central principles of her philosophy and of her heroes: reason, values, volition, 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».
