A long time best selling writer I have never been able to get into.
Anthem (Xist Classics) (1939) (80 pp) by Ayn Rand
A dystopian terror for teens and adults
Ayn Rand's shortest work images a world where education is banned and there is one word punishable by death -- "I." The hero discovers that man's greatest duty is the pursuit of his own happiness and embodies the philosophies explored in Rand's later and longer works, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead.
