Ayn Rand We The Living

Ayn,Rand: We the Living, PENGUIN Group (USA) Inc., Mai 2009 ISBN: 0451226852
The first literary work of one of the most influential philosophers and novelists of the twentieth century-available for the first time in trade paperback. BR Ayn Rand wrote of her first novel, We the Living, It is as near to an autobiography as I will ever write. The plot is invented, the background is not...The specific events of Kira's life were not mine: her ideas, her convictions, her values, were and are. We the Living depicts the struggle of the individual against the state, and the impact of the Russian Revolution on three human beings who demand the right to live their own lives and pursue their own happiness. It tells of a young woman's passionate love, held like a fortress against the corrupting evil of a totalitarian state. BR This classic novel is not a story of politics, but of the men and women who have to struggle for existence behind the banners and slogans.

Brown, Peter Megargee: Figure It Out: A Guide to Wisdom. HARDCOVER WITH DUST JACKET, 2010

Brown, Peter Megargee. Figure It Out: A Guide to Wisdom. Clark: The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd, 2010. xii, 305 pp. Foreword by Alexandra Stoddard, author of Living a Beautiful Life. ISBN-13: 9781616190361; ISBN-10: 1616190361. Hardcover with dust jacket. New. * "Often we come to a point in our lives when we dispense with the trivial and tire of ordinary superficialities," writes Peter Megargee Brown in Figure It Out: A Guide to Wisdom. Here he has collected some of the most profound statements of all time, and gathered them into topical sections reflecting the depth of the thinker behind the trial lawyer. Sprinkled with his comments on the quotations he has carefully selected over many years, sparkling anecdotes and essays complement the quotations and provide a complete and thought-provoking portrait of each subject. Contains two comprehensive indexes: Authors and Sources Index and a Subject Index that will help readers locate concepts. Brown leads you through the great subjects mankind has grappled with since the beginning-spirituality, love, life, death, friendship-and offers much more-his appraisal of the complexities of character, writing, history, memory, privacy, travel-drawing on the wisdom of great philosophers including Aristotle, Hillel, Voltaire and Hegel, Supreme Court Justices Oliver Wendell Holmes, Benjamin Cardozo and Joseph Story, the late Tony Snow, writers such as George Bernard Shaw, Ayn Rand, Maureen Dowd and Malachy McCourt, politicians Winston Churchill and Theodore Roosevelt, painter Henri Matisse and architect Frank Lloyd Wright. A collection that can be read cover-to-cover or flipped through for a moment of illumination, Figure It Out: A Guide to Wisdom will entertain and enlighten seekers of truth. Turn to this treasury for inspiration, as Alexandra Stoddard says in the Foreword, "Whether you are a reader, a writer, a historian, a philosopher, or a speaker at important events-even making a toast-this personal selection will delight you, uplift you, and help you to Figure It Out." Peter Megargee Brown began his legal career as assistant counsel to John Marshall Harlan on the New York State Crime Commission. After Mr. Harlan was appointed to the United States Supreme Court, Mr. Brown went on to become chief litigator for the New York firm of Cadwalader, Wi
