From Journals of Ayn Rand, 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.Rand comes vibrantly to life as an untried screenwriter in Hollywood, creating stories that reflect her youthful vision of the world.

On these vivid pages, Ayn Rand lives.… (lisätietoja)
Ayn Rand was an endless fount of brilliantly original ideas. This book is a collection of her exploratory (and occasionally final) thoughts, from 1927 through the 1960s, on a variety of subjects. Journals includes her work on a movie she planned to write about the atomic bomb project—on The Moral Basis of Individualism, her first attempt at a systematic, non-fiction presentation of her ethics—on her notes for a post-Atlas novel titled To Loren Dieterling.
Leonard Peikoff writes in the Foreword: "One great pleasure in reading the book is to see hints of later discoveries mentioned at first casually, even parenthetically. . . . In terms of cognitive value to the reader, the new material alone in this volume warrants the price. It is new to me also. No matter how clear Objectivism is in my mind, every time I read another Ayn Rand book, it becomes clearer. This book is no exception."

(Foreword by Leonard Peikoff): Ayn Rand's Journals – my name to her novels to herself through the decades – is the bulk of her still unpublished work, arranged chronologically.
(Editor's Preface): In a note to herself at the age of twenty-three, AR wrote: "From now on – no thought whatever about yourself, only about your work."

It is fitting, therefore, that her last fiction notes are about a woman like herself, who maintains such a view of life to the end, even while those around her do not.
