Ayn Rand and the World She Made - Anne Conover Heller

Descriere Ayn Rand and the World She Made - Anne Conover Heller

\nA New York Times Notable Book \nA Chicago Tribune Favorite Book of the Year \nA San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of the Year \n \nAyn Rand's books have attracted three generations of readers, shaped the Libertarian movement, influenced White House economic policies throughout the Reagan years and beyond, and inspired the Tea Party movement. Yet twenty-eight years after her death, readers know very little about her life. \n \nIn this seminal biography, Anne C. Heller traces the controversial author's life from her childhood in Bolshevik Russia to her years as a Hollywood screenwriter, the publication of her blockbuster novels, and the rise and fall of the cult that worshipped her in the 1950s and 1960s. Based on original research in Russia and scores of interviews with Rand's acquaintances and former acolytes, Ayn Rand and the World She Made is a comprehensive and eye-opening portrait of one of the most significant and improbable figures of the twentieth century.\n
