Kundenrezensionen
I am currently in Buenos Aires, and here in Argentina it is only this year that an uncensored version of this book is published for the first time, and this almost 50 years after its first publication in the US. That should tell you something about its controversial nature.
As for the story, I am sure that the many other critiques of this book have given you a rough idea about it. Personally, I have always found many of the issues and speeches in the book to be somewhat redundant, and the fervor with which the Objectivists defend the book to be just a tad hysterical. To criticize the book or the author is akin to blasphemy in the eyes of many Randroids.
The problem in my view has always been that, as Rand herself once said, this is more of a philosophical exposee than a literary novel, and that shows quite often. As far as literary works go, the author's previous novel 'The Fountainhead' is far superior. The philosophy is the same, but the author concentrated on the story first, instead of worrying solely about how to propagate her philosophy.
Regardless of whether or not you agree with Mrs. Rand's views, this book is too important to simply ignore. It would be like ignoring the Communist Manifesto, just because you are an anti-communist, or the Bible because you are an atheist. For all collectivists: 'Know Thy Enemy', and for all individualists: 'Get it' if for no other reason than its importance for the individualist and libertarian movement. Individualism has too few advocates as it is, and this book has quite possibly laid the foundations of a rivival of the old liberal tradition in the decades after its first publication.
I think those who critisize the book probably don't understand the values it tries to promote. My interpretation is that the only moral way to live is to give your best effort, to achieve a goal and to feel satisfied after seeing that what you did has some meaning. Anyone who interprets this as getting as much money as you can probably never experienced this feeling. The "social" people in the book didn't act in order to get a feeling of happiness, in fact they aimed fror their own unhappiness. This isn't social, this is plainly stupid (and in Ayn Rand's eyes, immoral). A really social person feels happy when he/she helps others, and doesn't do it in order not to feel guilty. It is this false "social"-ism that she opposed, and I oppose as well. Those who get confused with the "immoral" part, I'd like to emphasise the practical (it simply doesn't work and everyone loses).
So next time you manage to reach a goal (whether as a researcher, clerk, businessman, blue collar worker or anyone else), and have a deep feeling of self-satisfaction about it, stop for a while and think back at this book, and if it wouldn't be immoral if someone wanted to rob you of this feeling. If some buerocrat prevents you from reaching your goal, and you feel enraged about it, remember this book as well, and remember that your anger is right. And if you want to be social, do it from your own money and do it in order to feel happy and not because you are expected to do it.
not having read the entire work 'Atlas Shrugged' of Ayn Rand yet, but having read some of the 1 star reviews out of interest, I am observing a very strange tendency. Lesen Sie weiter...
I didn't read it therefore but ordered the penguin version in hope of bigger letters and more space... Lesen Sie weiter...
