Product Description
Who is John Galt? This famous rhetorical question rings through Ayn Rand's best-selling novel as the people's anthem of despair in depressed economic times. Set in the future, the novel follows capitalist magnates as they battle looters, strikers, and the impending ruin of the United States' economy. The romantic and intellectual relationship between Dagny Taggart, the heroine, and John Galt, whose identity as the leader of the strike is eventually revealed, carries the novel to its climax. PThis novel, controversial when it first appeared in 1957, purports Rand's objectivist philosophy that the individual is free to pursue his or her own happiness without bowing to God or society. Objectivism in action upholds full laissez-faire capitalism as the only philosophy that can protect humankind's freedom to think, to be inventive, and to live productively.

Atlas Shrugged (Cliffs Notes) br / br /This is an excellent companion while reading or after reading Atlas Shrugged. It gives an excellent insight to the individuals in the book and there are many as well as story itself.

I found the Cliff Notes beneficial in reviewing Atlas Shrugged, which I had recently read. It helped me articulate the author's philosophy and metaphor. My mother, who is legally blind, had also recently read Atlas Shrugged on CD, and the Cliffs Notes contributed to our lively discussions of the book. (We had both read the book for pleasure, not academics).

I gave this book to a very good friend that loves the book and he thought it was pretty clever that there are Cliff Notes for Atlas Shrugged. We are discussing the book chapter by chapter (I am reading for th first time) and we are going to start using the cliff notes for our discussions as well. br / br /Read the entire book though...It is pretty amazing. The Cliff Notes are a great companion for it.
Bernstein - right choice for Cliff note on Atlas December 28, 2002

Like Rand, Bernstein is a philosopher and novelist. His extensive study of Rand's thought is evident in this masterful recapitulation of Rand's great novel. He understands Rand's ideas and characters, leading to a sympathetic treatment. However, he avoids being an overbearing propagandist. For those of us who were riveted by the action the first time we read Atlas, this will serve as a discussion with a `friend' as we recall the events and characters. Enjoy.
GREAT TOOL TO HAVE! July 31, 2002

I've pushed my way through many years of school without buying a single Cliffsnotes. I found it funny that my first purchase would be for a book I choose to read on my own accord. Rand's novel can't be praised enough, but I also have to give the Cliffnotes for the novel their fair due. This little book was a great help in gaining a better understanding of this massive novel. I really enjoyed the in depth character analysis, the tight summary of the book, and the critical essays offered at the end. If I were to write a paper on the book, I would definitely gain from having these notes. More importantly, by reading the book chapter by chapter, then going to the Cliffnotes and reading along to cover what I had just read, I was able to get through a work that covers a TREMENDOUS amount of ground, with a huge scope, and not get lost. After gaining as much as I did from using the Cliffnotes as a study tool while reading this novel, I made sure to pick up the Cliffnotes for Fountainhead so I could do the same for that book. I will definitely give consideration to purchasing Cliffnotes for my longer, more challenging future reads.
