I really like the phrase and opening of this book.
WHO MOVES THE WORLD?
Who is John Gait?
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 a perennial Ayn Rand bestseller,
offers the reader
the spectacle of human greatness, depicted with all the
poetry and power of
one of the twentieth century’s leading artists.
