Anthem, Expanded 50th anniversary Edition, Ayn Rand

He lived in the dark ages of the future. In a loveless world he dared to love the woman of his choice. In an age that had lost all trace of science and civilization he had the courage to seek and find knowledge. But these were not the crimes for which he would be hunted. He was marked for death because he had committed the unpardonable sin: he had stood forth from the mindless human herd. He was a man alone.

Ayn Rand's classic tale of a future dark age of the great "We"— in which individuals have no name, no independence, and no values — anticipates her later masterpieces, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.

This 50th Anniversary edition of Anthem includes a new Introduction by Ayn Rand's heir, Leonard Peikoff. It contains excerpts from documents by Ayn Rand - letters, interviews, and journal notes - in which she discusses Anthem. The Appendix reproduces the entire original British edition with Ayn Rand's handwritten editorial changes.
