Anthem (Hardcover)
by Ayn Rand

A novella set in a distant collectivist future, when every form and emblem of individualism has been erased and society has reverted to a preindustrial level. Its hero, a scientist in a world where the pursuit of knowledge is a crime, discovers the meaning of individual freedom. The expanded 50th Anniversary Edition of Anthem contains a new introduction by Leonard Peikoff and a facsimile of the original British edition, showing the handwritten changes made by Rand before the publication of Anthem in the United States. (253 pp.)
