Una novela trepidante y una indagacion filosofica sobre la libertad y la razon
LA ECONOMIA DE ESTADOS UNIDOS SE ENCUENTRA EN RUINAS. Las empresas cierran, en las tiendas es imposible encontrar los productos basicos y la poblacion empieza a perder la esperanza en recuperar la prosperidad y la autonomia. La respuesta del gobierno es aumentar cada vez mas las regulaciones, el control de cualquier actividad y el colectivismo.
La rebelion de Atlas es una novela de misterio, pero, como dijo Ayn Rand, <>. Es la historia de un hombre que dice que parara el motor del mundo, y lo hace. ?Es ese hombre un des-tructor malevolo o el mayor de los libertadores? ?Por que tiene que luchar, no contra sus enemigos, sino contra aquellos que mas le necesitan, incluso contra la heroina a quien ama?
Obra cumbre de la gran defensora de la razon y de la libertad individual frente a los excesos del Estado y su mentalidad autoritaria, en ella, Rand expone como el declive de la competencia entre las grandes empresas, la desmoralizacion entre quienes deberian liderar la actividad economica y creativa y la inercia del ciudadano comun conducen a la pobreza moral y material.
Mezcla de thriller de accion en las altas esferas y de reflexion filosofica sobre el Estado y el individuo, La rebelion de Atlas resume la filosofia de Ayn Rand en una historia que integra de forma magistral cuestiones relacionadas con la etica, la metafisica, la epistemologia, la politica, la economia y el sexo. Si quieres leer un unico libro y entender la vision del mundo de Rand, este es el libro.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Peopled by larger-than-life heroes and villains, charged with towering questions of good and evil, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's magnum opus: a philosophical revolution told in the form of an action thriller--nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS'sThe Great American Read.
Who is John Galt? When he says that he will stop the motor of the world, is he a destroyer or a liberator? Why does he have to fight his battles not against his enemies but against those who need him most? Why does he fight his hardest battle against the woman he loves?
You will know the answer to these questions when you discover the reason behind the baffling events that play havoc with the lives of the amazing men and women in this book. You will discover why a productive genius becomes a worthless playboy...why a great steel industrialist is working for his own destruction...why a composer gives up his career on the night of his triumph...why a beautiful woman who runs a transcontinental railroad falls in love with the man she has sworn to kill.
Atlas Shrugged, a modern classic and Rand's most extensive statement of Objectivism--her groundbreaking philosophy--offers the reader the spectacle of human greatness, depicted with all the poetry and power of one of the twentieth century's leading artists.
