• Anthem

    by Ayn Rand Year Published: 1938
    In many ways,  Anthem is Ayn Rand's most unusual novel. It is not only much shorter than her other novels, but it also departs significantly from her other works in style and characterization. The "parable-like quality" of the story (as one commentator described it), combined with the almost poetical style of the language, makes this one of her most accessible books, especially for young people.
