Ayn Rand 2-Book Set: Atlas Shrugged & Fountainhead
Two Ayn Rand classics, Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, together for the first time in a boxed set.
Peopled by larger-than-life heroes and villains and 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. It is the story of a man who said he would stop the motor of the world, and did. Was he a destroyer or the greatest of liberators? Why did he have to fight his hardest battle not against his enemies, but against the woman he loved? What is the world's motor, and the motive power of every man?
The Fountainhead is the revolutionary literary vision that sowed the seeds of Objectivism, Rand's groundbreaking philosophy, and brought her immediate worldwide acclaim. This modern classic follows the intransigent young architect Howard Roark, whose integrity is as unyielding as granite, Dominique Francon, the exquisitely beautiful woman who loves Roark passionately yet marries his worst enemy, and the fanatic denunciation an enraged society unleashes against a great creator. As fresh today as it was upon publication, Rand's provocative novel presents one of the most challenging ideas in all of fiction: that man's ego is the fountainhead of human progress.
Both titles are featured on The Book Club with Michael Knowles, PragerU's show dedicated to the great books of Western civilization. Eric Daniels joined Michael to discuss Rand's warning about the allure and evils of socialism in Atlas Shrugged, and former Carl's Jr. and Hardee's CEO Andy Puzder joined him to explore The Fountainhead's take on the individual versus the collective.

What I was seeking...
The outer box seems to have been dented during shipping. The books inside the the box are in excellent shape. I am pleased with the transaction and would purchase from this seller again in the future.
These two texts are so important for all to read! I've uploaded pics of the type face for your consideration. It is fantastically small but I have no trouble reading it. The Fountainhead is 694 pages and Atlas Shrugged 1069.
Extremely pleased with this purchase; the seller included additional books by the author. I've read Atlas Shrugged and I am anticipating reading the others!
the books are great, have a go
I only finished the fountainhead as of writing this, I’m giving it 5 stars for the importance of the message, 4 stars for the story itself, and 3 stars for the book’s physical quality. The print was adequately large for my sharp eyes, but they printed it TOO CLOSE TO THE BINDING, thus FORCING the reader to bend the spine severely, thus leading to pages FALLING OUT. Make no mistake, these are cheapo prints, probably single use. The story was worth the effort however, and I’m told Atlas Shrugged is even better, so I think 4/5 overall is a fair judgement. If you have the money, I’d recommend finding a version easier to actually hold and read, but this will do for an “affordable option”.
Read this years ago then lost my copies in a move. Glad to have found and will re-read again. So much she saw fits today.
Ayn Rand was a brilliant visionary. Students today should be required to read her books. It would open their eyes to the flaws of socialism.
Great books
Havnt read them yet; Author is well acclaimed. we will see.
👍
The Fountainhead was so good that I'm worried I'll be disappointed by Atlas Shrugged.
No problems
These two books were good and I had a good time reading them.
Insightful and thought-provoking as expected. Everyone should read these.
Product was exactly as advertised and arrived ahead of schedule. I will buy from this seller again.
Never read this author until now-that's my fault. I am 2/3 thru The Fountainhead, I wish it was a lot longer, I don't want it to end. What an incredible writer she was. I have heard that Atlas Shrugged is even better, will get to that shortly. This novel reads like a John Steinbeck story, full of interesting characters and beleivable plots. I don't think there are many contemporary writers in her league, they all seem to be more concerned about showing their political bias and their virtue signaling.
Always good to have in a library & a great gift!
I first read these in high school. I bought them to read them again.I’m glad I did. Now I’ll save for another generation
Read these books many years ago when they were banned because the author is from Russia. I saw them on Amazon and thought I would renew the reading relationship through the lens of The Book of Ayn: A Novel. I am excited about the opportunity.
For a Christmas gift.
Great books for all to read!
Her writing is deep and occasionally dark but she writes the truth and we ought to listen to her. She Warne us decades ago about the evils of the collectivism we see taking over our country today
I was surprised by how small the print size was in these books. I would prefer a larger size. Something to keep in mind.
Read this in my teens. At 70, I clearly see the truths
Ayn Rand is an excellent author. Her books are amazingly filled with insight on what is happening in the USA.
my husband is a bookworm and a podcast worm. These were a gift for him. and he is not complaining lol.
If you have never read Atlas Shrugged, you need to. Although it was written in the 1950”s, it is happening today. Ayn was somehow seeing into the future.
I didn't want both books but this was the format. Atlas Shrugged was every bit as good and maybe even more relevant today - read it originally when I was a teenager.
Among the best books that I've ever read! Well packaged and in good condition.
