Fiction by Ayn Rand

ऐन रैंड।

उसका नाम एक प्रकार का मनोवैज्ञानिक लिटमस टेस्ट है; यह अनिवार्य रूप से भयंकर प्रशंसा या क्रोधित निंदा की हिंसक प्रतिक्रियाओं को उकसाता है। लेकिन तटस्थता असंभव लगती है।

Both as a thinker and as an artist, Ayn Rand stormed against the tide. As a philosopher, she was an uncompromising champion of reason, individualism and pure capitalism. As a novelist, she was an impassioned Romantic. In both capacities, she was startling, original, unprecedented.

उनके लेखन का लक्ष्य, उन्होंने कहा, "जीवन के एक टुकड़े" को पकड़ना नहीं था, बल्कि मनुष्य के बारे में अपनी नैतिक दृष्टि को "जैसा वह हो सकता है और होना चाहिए" पेश करना था।

And so the protagonists of her bestsellers ( We The Living , Anthem, The Fountainhead , and Atlas Shrugged ) are heroic, Promethean individualists-embattled titans in a world of envious Lilliputians.

और इस धारणा को खारिज करते हुए कि एक "गंभीर" उपन्यास को सुस्त होना था, उसने रंग, रोमांस, रोमांच और भव्यता से भरे जटिल कथानकों में अपने दार्शनिक विषयों को नाटकीय रूप दिया।

कोई उसकी कहानियों से प्यार या नफरत कर सकता है; कोई भी उन्हें आसानी से नहीं भूल सकता है।
