Ayn Rand's Marginalia

Ayn Rand is the best-selling author of The Fountainhead and the most philosophically challenging novel of the century—Atlas Shrugged. Her philosophy, Objectivism, influences an ever-growing number of "new intellectuals" throughout the world.

As Ayn Rand read books and periodicals by various writers, she habitually wrote critical comments in the margins. Ayn Rand's Marginalia contains these philosophical analyses and the texts to which they refer. Though not her final, considered viewpoint, her marginalia do offer a fascinating glimpse of her unique mind at work.
