Ayn Rand Boxed Set: Atlas Shrugged / The Fountainhead

Two of Rand’s classic novels—“Atlas Shrugged” and “The Fountainhead”—are collected together for the first time in one boxed set.

Ayn Rand is one of the rare writers who not only drew in readers with her novels, but created a philosophical movement with them. Her seminal Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, cornerstones of her individualistic Objectivist world view, can be viewed as literature, self-empowerment texts, or both. A writer of great power. She has a subtle and ingenious mind and the capacity of writing brilliantly, beautifully, bitterly. — The New York Times About the Author Ayn Rand’s first novel, We the Living, was published in 1936. With the publication of The Fountainhead in 1943, she achieved spectacular and enduring success. Through her novels and nonfiction writings, which express her unique philosophy, Objectivism, Rand maintains a lasting influence on popular thought.
