RAND, Ayn.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

For the New Intellectual. First edition, with the publisher's compliments slip, of Rand's introductory miscellany, collecting excerpts from The Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, and several of her other novels. Rand prefaces these extracts with a 64-page essay tracing the history of western philosophy, albeit beginning with her contention that "America is a country without voice or defense - a county sold out and abandoned by her intellectual bodyguards" (p. 4).
