Fiction by Ayn Rand

איין ראנד.

שמה הוא מעין מבחן ליטמוס פסיכולוגי; היא מעוררת בהכרח תגובות אלימות של הערצה עזה או גינוי זועם. אבל נייטרליות נראית בלתי אפשרית.

Both as a thinker and as an artist, Ayn Rand stormed against the tide. As a philosopher, she was an uncompromising champion of reason, individualism and pure capitalism. As a novelist, she was an impassioned Romantic. In both capacities, she was startling, original, unprecedented.

מטרת כתיבתה, לדבריה, אינה ללכוד "פרוסת חיים", אלא להקרין את חזונה המוסרי על האדם "כפי שהוא יכול וצריך להיות".

And so the protagonists of her bestsellers ( We The Living , Anthem, The Fountainhead , and Atlas Shrugged ) are heroic, Promethean individualists-embattled titans in a world of envious Lilliputians.

ודחתה את הרעיון שרומן "רציני" חייב להיות משעמם, היא הציגה בדרמטיות את הנושאים הפילוסופיים שלה בעלילות מורכבות עמוסות צבע, רומנטיקה, הרפתקאות ופאר.

אפשר לאהוב או לשנוא את סיפוריה; אי אפשר לשכוח אותם בקלות.

AYN RAND'S SHORT STORIES

• The Husband I Bought (1926)
• Good Copy (c.a. 1927)
• Escort (1929)
• Her Second Career (1929)

These early short stories were not intended for publication, but were written while Ayn Rand was still learning her literary craft and gaining familiarity with the English language. They have considerable charm, however, and contain the seeds of ideas and values that would characterize her mature work.

These stories and others are anthologized in The Early Ayn Rand.

• The Simplest Thing in the World (1940)

This short story, which shows how an artist’s values affect his creative processes, appears in Ayn Rand’s nonfiction work, The Romantic Manifesto: A Philosophy of Literature
