From <i>Journals of Ayn Rand</i>, we gain an invaluable new understanding and appreciation of the woman, the artist, and the philosopher, and of the enduring legacy she has left us. <br> <br>Rand comes vibrantly to life as an untried screenwriter in Hollywood, creating stories that reflect her youthful vision of the world. We see her painful memories of communist Russia and her struggles to conveyy them in <i>We the Living</i>. Most fascinating is the intricate, step-by-step process through which she created the plots and characters of her two masterworks, <i>The Fountainhead</i> and <i>Atlas Shrugged</i>, and the years of painstaking research that imbued the novels with their powerful authenticity. <br> <br>Complete with reflections on her legendary screenplay concerning the making of the atomic bomb and tantalizing descriptions of projects cut short by her death, <i>Journals of Ayn Rand</i> illuminates the mind and heart of an extraordinary woman as no biography or memoir ever could. On these vivid pages, Ayn Rand lives. 6164 1997 The Journals of Ayn Rand total:50|5:20|4:17|3:8|2:4|1:1| 50 201 86 6 4 2 false false Tue Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 1999 Sat Jun 30 13:17:11 -0700 2007 Sat Jun 30 13:17:11 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sun Mar 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 17:33:11 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 17:34:47 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed Jun 18 08:08:24 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 18 08:08:31 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Jul 18 10:11:13 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 23 12:13:41 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Fri Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Tue May 12 06:44:05 -0700 2009 Tue May 12 06:44:05 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu Jun 04 10:11:49 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 11:30:38 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 04 10:11:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Nov 28 19:35:46 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 28 19:35:46 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Tue Nov 24 18:31:53 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 24 18:31:53 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Thu Nov 19 20:39:06 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 20:39:06 -0800 2009 5 0 true false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Nov 16 19:32:37 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 21:13:54 -0800 2009 1 4 0 false false Tue Nov 10 12:45:22 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 10 12:45:22 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Nov 01 22:27:23 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 01 22:27:30 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Oct 23 16:50:03 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 23 16:50:03 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 22 20:04:44 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 20:04:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Oct 21 10:37:17 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 10:37:20 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Oct 05 18:28:49 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 05 18:28:49 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Sep 20 20:00:29 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 20:00:29 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Sep 09 14:58:47 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 09 14:58:47 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 04 15:36:17 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 15:36:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Aug 30 17:08:57 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 17:08:57 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2113
