nown for her phenomenally bestselling
novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged,
Ayn Rand was one of the twentieth century s
fiercest, most controversial, and most influen¬
tial champions of laissez-faire capitalism and
individual rights. Her novels and essays have
attracted tens of millions of readers, shaped the
Libertarian movement, and influenced White
House economic policy throughout the Ford,
Reagan, and Bush administrations. She remains
a powerful force in the political perceptions of
Americans today. Yet twenty-five years after her
death, her readers know little about her life.
In this seminal biography, Anne
С
Heller chron¬
icles Ayn Rand s troubled childhood in Russ.a
before and during the Russian Revolution, her
lone arrival in America at the age of twenty-
one, her apprenticeship as a screenwriter in
Hollywood, and the courage and tenacity with
which she produced her powerful °nd P°PU7
novels of ideas in the
1940s
and
1950*
WM.
most established writers of the time ridiculed
her, young people flocked to her books and
theories, forming an immense cult
«oundh«
in the
1950s
and
1960s.
Hel.er vividly
tra-ş
the development of the author s ideas, he
Ы
den influences in her books, her tangled love
nfe.andtheriseandfanofhercut^ougho^
Heller brings new facts, new .nsigW, a
perspective to the dramatic story of Ayn
life and work.
Ayn Rand died in
1982.
Based on original
research from the Russian archives, scores
of interviews with Rand s remaining family,
acquaintances, colleagues, and followers, and
previously unexamined archives of tapes and
letters, Ayn Rand and the World She Made is
a broad and enlightening portrait of one of
the most significant and improbable figures of
recent history.
ANNE C. HELLER is a magazine
editor and journalist. She has been the man¬
aging editor of The Antioch Review, a fiction
editor of Esquire and
Redbook,
the features
editor of Lear s, and the executive editor of
the magazine-development group at
Condé
Nast
Publications, with a special emphasis on
money and finance. It was Ayn Rand s writing
about money that first aroused her interest in
the author, who is one of the most passionate
defenders of capitalism of all time. Heller has
written for a number of national magazines.
