"My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his oblest activity, and reason as his only absolute."--Ayn Rand

                                                                                                

         We the Living by Ayn Rand

This is Ayn Rand's first novel. It portrays the impact of the Russian Revolution on three human beings: Leo, Kira, and Andrei. In this novel Ayn Rand displays her hatred of communism. Everyone in our salon group enjoyed this book. We all agree the Rand is a superb writer. She kept us captivated while we were reading the book. Everyone in our group would definately recommend this book to audiences everywhere.
