New York: Random House, Date: 1957. First edition. Original cloth, original dust jacket. Fine/Fine. FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE of Rand's masterpiece; INSCRIBED BY RAND TO LUDWIG VON MISES: "To Dr. and Mrs. Ludwig von Mieses- / -Cordially- / Ayn Rand / 8/22/57". A spectacular association copy linking two of the most influential economic figures of the twentieth century. In August 1957 - nearly two months before the book was available to the public - Rand presented this copy of the first edition of Atlas Shrugged to Ludwig von Mises (sometimes spelled "von Mieses"), the Austrian-American economist and philosopher who was one of the leading figures of the modern libertarian movement, and immediately found a sympathetic ear. After reading Atlas Shrugged, von Mises wrote to Rand, offering strong praise for the book. In a letter to Rand dated January 23, 1958, he wrote: "... I enjoyed very much reading Atlas Shrugged and... I am full of admiration for your masterful construction of the plot. But 'Atlas Shrugged' is not merely a novel. It is also-or may I say first of all-a cogent analysis of the evils that plague our society, a substantiated rejection of the ideology of our self-styled 'intellectuals' and a pitiless unmasking of the insincerity of the policies adopted by governments and political parties. It is a devastating exposure of the 'moral cannibals,' the 'gigolos of science' and of the 'academic prattle' of the makers of the 'anti-industrial revolution.' ...
Washington DC: Institute of Inter-American Transportation, Date: 1947. First edition. Original pictorial paper wraps stapled at spine. 199 pages with multiple illustrations and charts. Gently toned, but overall a tight, pleasing copy. With provenance from Ayn Rand's library, and including 45 pages annotated in pencil by Ayn Rand as she conducted research for what would become her most influential work, Atlas Shrugged. Atlas Shrugged, Rand's fourth, final, and longest novel, depicts a dystopian America where reason, individualism, and capitalism have been set aside in favor of government control and coercion. At the book's center are railroad heiress Dagny Taggart, her steel magnate lover Hank Rearden, and Rand's unforgettable non-conformist hero John Galt. Railroads and trains become more than a backdrop for the action, functioning as a symbol of all that Objectivism can bring to a crumbling collectivist U.S. For this reason, Rand's research into the rail industry was crucial -- and The United States Railway Mission to Mexico provided her with in depth information about the industry. Documenting American efforts to restore and repair railway lines through Mexico, the report contains background on the project's mission and organization, cost and investment numbers, and details on the work done and its results. Throughout in pencil, Rand scores key areas of interest, at times leaving exclamation and question marks for particularly important sections. Of note are sections ...
Date: 1957. First Edition . RAND, Ayn. Atlas Shrugged. New York: Random House, 1957. Thick octavo, original green cloth, original dust jacket. $4800.First edition of one of the most popular and influential novels of the last 50 years, in original dust jacket.""From 1943 until its publication in 1957, [Rand] worked on the book that many say is her masterpiece, Atlas Shrugged. This novel describes how a genius named John Galt grows weary of supporting a society of ungrateful parasites and one day simply shrugs and walks away. He becomes an inspiration to like-minded men and women, all of whom eventually follow his example, until society, in its agony, calls them back to responsibility and respect. Again [as with Rand's novel The Fountainhead in 1943] reviews were unsympathetic, and again people bought the book"" (ANB). By 1984 more than five million copies of Atlas Shrugged had been sold, and in a 1991 Library of Congress survey Americans named it second only to the Bible as the book that had most influenced their lives.

Overall, a beautiful, bright copy. Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's fourth and final novel, and her longest published work. Set in a fictional dystopian future, Atlas Shrugged paints a picture of what the United States would look like if its best skilled workers, in refusal of being taxed, simply stopped doing their jobs. The title comes from the mythological figure of the Titans named Atlas, who was charged by the gods to hold up the sky and is often depicted as carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Of all Rand's novels, Atlas Shrugged is the most infused with her personal philosophical system called Objectivism, which she would later outline in her 1961 For the New Intellectual. .

Jacket design by George Salter. âFrom 1943 until its publication in 1957, [Rand] worked on the book that many say is her masterpiece, Atlas Shrugged.

The theme of Atlas Shrugged, as Rand described it, is "the role of man's mind in existence." The book explores a number of philosophical themes that Rand would subsequently develop into the philosophy of Objectivism. By 1984 more than five million copies of Atlas Shrugged had been sold, and in a 1991 Library of Congress survey Americans named it second only to the Bible as the book that had most influenced their lives.

Natürlich schrecken zunächst fast 1400 Seiten ab. Aber nach kurzer Zeit verfolgt man die Geschichte der tapferen Unternehmerin, die gesellschaftliche Entwicklung und die Liebesgeschichte gebannt und ist am Ende fast enttäuscht, dass das Buch schon zu Ende ist. Die Philosophie hinter diesem Buch ist zunächst fast abschreckend aber in weiten Teilen von einer bestechenden Klarheit. Der Roman "Atlas Shrugged", wörtlich übersetzt "Atlas zuckte mit den Schultern", der 1905 als Kind deutschstämmiger Juden in Petersburg geborenen Autorin; erschien bereits 1957 und gilt in Amerika als eines der einflussreichsten politischen Bücher des 20. Jahrhunderts. Ayn Rand beschloss mit neun Jahren Schriftstellerin zu werden, erlebte 1917 die Februarrevolution und auch die Oktoberrevolution; bei der ihre Eltern all ihre Besitztümer verloren. Die Erlaubnis für einen befristeten Verwandtenbesuch in den USA nutzte sie, um die Sowjetunion zu verlassen. Sie hasste ihre Heimat, sowohl die vorherrschende Neigung zum Kollektivismus als auch den russischen Mystizismus. In den USA wurde sie eine begeisterte Anhängerin der feien Marktwirtschaft und des "Laissez-faire-Kapitalismus". Der Titel "Atlas wirft die Welt ab" steht als Metapher für den ...
