ayn rand — Anthem

Book Very Good Dust Jacket Included Inscribed by Author(s) 1st Edition Caxton Caldwell, Idaho RAND, AYN. ANTHEM. INSCRIBED THIRD PRINTING. 1960. Ayn Rand's dystopian novella Anthem, here in an inscribed third printing from 1960. The novel depicts a future society in which individual identity and independent thought have been subordinated to collective authority. Written prior to The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, Anthem introduces themes of individualism, conformity, and intellectual independence that would recur throughout Rand's later fiction. The present copy is distinguished by its inscription from Ayn Rand, adding a desirable authorial association to an important work from her early literary period. Book is square, sharp, tight, and bright, with occasional marginal notes and underlining. Dust jacket clean and bright, with moderate rubbing along the edges. Overall, very good
