Synopsis
A novel about a man who lives in the dark ages of the future, in a loveless world where it takes courage to love the woman of his choice and pursue knowledge. Writing in opposition to the collectivist sentiments of modern times, Rand sought to illustrate the threats to human liberty inherent in social notions of altruism and charity, and in ANTHEM she creates a picture of an entire world sunk into barbarism through a misplaced sense of social obligation.

Industry Reviews
Rand's dark portrait of the future was first released in England in 1938 and reedited for publication in the United States in 1946. This 50th-anniversary edition includes a scholarly introduction and a facsimile of the original British version, which bears Rand's handwritten alterations for its American debut.

    This book was Excellent! I read this novel in an hour, I couldn't put it down. Anthem reads like a poem but is classified as a novel. Anthem has a very interesting history, being first printed in pamphlet form. Then it was banned from being read.

    The book is comparable to 1984 in the content that it talks about. Every person is an individual capable of living there own life. The ideals that are forced on the people is that of a collective. Every person is a We and each person can never classify themselves as I. The values and thoughts that are brought up are very inspiring. The Authors says that "every intelligent American should read this book." Their is a word that is never to be Spoken, and to say is a instant death sentence. The word: EGO!
