Available for the first time in trade paperback--this provocative book is "an anthem sung in praise of man's ego"--from the legendary author Ayn Rand
Anthem has long been hailed as one of Ayn Rand's classic novels, and a clear predecessor to her later masterpieces, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. In Anthem, Rand examines a frightening future in which individuals have no name, no independence, and no values. Equality 7-2521 lives in the dark ages of the future where all decisions are made by committee, all people live in collectives, and all traces of individualism have been wiped out. Despite such a restrictive environment, the spark of individual thought and freedom still burns in him--a passion which he has been taught to call sinful. In a purely egalitarian world, Equality 7-2521 dares to stand apart from the herd--to think and choose for himself, to discover electricity, and to love the woman of his choice. Now he has been marked for death for committing the ultimate sin. In a world where the great "we" reign supreme, he has rediscovered the lost and holy word--"I."
安·兰德是美国当代最有影响的作家、思想家和公共知识分子之一。
安·兰德宣扬极端个人主义精神,是理性利已主义的倡导者,与利他主义和自我牺牲的伦理学形成最为尖锐的对抗。
在美国,她的作品的销量仅次于《圣经》。
有人说不了解安·兰德就无法理解美国精神。许多大名鼎鼎的人物,包括美联储主席格林斯潘、甲骨文CEO埃里森都是安·兰德哲学的拥趸。
鉴于之前读安·兰德的作品,《一个人》很容易被理解为“一个人”,用英语可能会解释的更明白“only myself”。熟悉安·兰德作品的人可能都很清楚,她是个人主义的倡导者,在安·兰德的文化语境里,“一个人”是很重要的,这个人,可是是“我”,也可以是“你”,或者是“他”,...

评分In the book Anthem, Ayn Rand listed a whole pack of words, with which "our brothers" are named - solidarity, equality, fraternity, union, international, collective, democracy, unanimity, alliance, harmony, similarity...Explanations are not necessary, for li...
评分之前对兰德其人,其学是完全陌生的,只是在看这本书粉蓝色封面讨人喜欢,加上之前的介绍吸引眼球,爽快的买了下来。 其实这本称之为政治科幻或者政治寓言的小说,读过之后第一感觉是失望感更胜过一筹,更无从所谓的震撼感。用简单的也的一句话评价:读过奥威尔《动物...
评分我一直觉得自己有一种天赋,每次随便拿到一本书,即便一页都没有翻过,但马上就能感觉出来自己会喜欢它还是不喜欢它,读过之后,和先前的预期总是一样的。当然因为有这种感觉,我自然不会去读原本第一印象就不好的书。所以可以说,只要读过的书,常识性知识性的除外,其余的小...
...一口气看完了!真心好看哭了,看到最后几章震撼极了。个人主义和反乌托邦的精神被写的淋漓尽致。印象最深的是Golden One说的那句“We love you”,然后又随即说“No, this is not what we wish to say”然后像个孩子一样喃喃“We are alone, and love you alone”那里...Epiphany of the ego of mankind
评分A patriotic individualist who wearily debates with himself shall be relieved after reading this book.
评分Too obvious
评分反乌托邦意识形态册子,毫无文学性及艺术性。
评分我吧 仔细想了想 还是不喜欢Rand的世界观
