Yet throughout her remarkable lifetime, beginning with her arrival in America from Soviet Russia as a passionately ambitious young woman, to her final years of unparalleled fame as a novelist/philosopher, Ayn Rand kept voluminous journals. With this first publication of a comprehensive selection from her journals, we gain an invaluable new understanding and appreciation of Ayn Rand the woman and of the enduring legacy of artistry and philosophy she left us. Rand comes to vibrant life as an untried screenwriter in Hollywood, creating stories that reflect her youthful vision of the world. We share her painful memories of Communist Russia and her struggles to bring them to dramatic life in We the Living. And we see the step~by~step emergence of the characters and plot of The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, along with the years of painstaking research that would imbue the novels with their powerful authenticity.

We are with her as she explores the questions of philosophy and builds the foundations of what will become the towering philosophy called Objectivism. There are tantalizing reflections on the legendary screenplay she wrote for Hollywood about the making of the atomic bomb ~ a brilliant piece never put on film. There is even advice to the director of the famous movie version of The Fountainhead, and elsewhere an intriguing aside on Rand's vision of the place of sex in the novel and in life. Including descriptions of the projects cut short by her death, Journals of Ayn Rand illuminates the mind and heart of an extraordinary woman as no autobiography or memoir ever could. On these vivid, fascinating pages, Ayn Rand lives.…
