For there is no separation between Ayn Rand the vibrant, creative woman and Ayn Rand the intellectual dynamo, the rational thinker, who was also a passionately committed champion of individual freedom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese remarkable letters begin in 1926, with a note from the twenty-year-old Ayn Rand, newly arrived in Chicago from Soviet Russia, an impoverished unknown determined to realize the promise of the land of opportunity. They move through her struggles and successes as a screenwriter, a playwright, and a novelist, her sensational triumph as the author of \u003cb\u003eThe Fountainhead\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eAtlas Shrugged\u003c\/b\u003e, and her eminence as founder and shaper of Objectivism, one of the most challenging philosophies of our time. They are written to such famed contemporaries as \u003cb\u003eCecil B. DeMille, Frank Lloyd Wright, H.L. Mencken, Alexander Kerensky, Barry Goldwater\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eMickey Spillane\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are letters to philosophers, priests, publishers, and political columnists; to her beloved husband, \u003cb\u003eFrank O' Connor\u003c\/b\u003e; and to her intimate circle of friends and her growing legion of followers. Her letters range in tone from warm affection to icy fury, and in content from telling commentaries on the events of the day to unforgettably eloquent statements of her philosophical ideas. They are presented chronologically, with explanatory notes by \u003cb\u003eMichael S. Berliner\u003c\/b\u003e, who identifies the recipients of the letters and provides relevant background and context. Here is a chronicle that captures the inspiring drama of a towering literary genius and seminal thinker, and--often day-by-day--her amazing life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003eBorn February 2, 1905, \u003cb\u003eAyn Rand\u003c\/b\u003e published her first novel, \u003ci\u003eWe the Living\u003c\/i\u003e, in 1936. \u003ci\u003eAnthem\u003c\/i\u003e followed in 1938. It was with the publication of \u003ci\u003eThe Fountainhead\u003c\/i\u003e (1943) and \u003ci\u003eAtlas Shrugged\u003c\/i\u003e (1957) that she achieved her spectacular success. Rand’s unique philosophy, Objectivism, has gained a worldwide audience. The fundamentals of her philosophy are put forth in three nonfiction books, \u003ci\u003eIntroduction to Objectivist Epistemology\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Virtues of Selfishness\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCapitalism: The Unknown Ideal\u003c\/i\u003e.
