Beschreibung:

RAND, AYN Atlas Shrugged. A novel. New York: Random House. (1957). Stated first printing. The dust jacket bears the correct $6.95 price, has the 10/57 date at the foot of the front flap, and the publisher's full address on the back flap. Original green cloth in dust jacket, top edge green. 8 1/2 x 5 7/8 inches (21 x 14.5 cm); (vi), 1168, (iv) pp. Jacket some very minor edge wear, but in all an unusually bright example, and rare thus. Anatomy of Wonder (1987), 3-316: Atlas Shrugged is "so filled with hate that it is hard to imagine even the anti-utopian most opposed to collectivism as able to accept its worship of selfishness. Forester, Zamyatin, Huxley, Orwell, after all, rejected utopia for what they thought was the good of mankind"; Hillegas The Future as Nightmare, pp. 146-47; Lewis, Utopian Literature, p. 156. Sargent, British and American Utopian Literature, 1516-1985, p. 268. C
