In 1958, Ayn Rand, already the world-famous author of such bestselling books as Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, gave a private series of extemporaneous lectures in her own living room on the art of fiction. Tore Boeckmann and Leonard Peikoff for the first time now bring readers the edited transcript of these exciting personal statements. The Art of Fiction offers invaluable lessons, in which Rand analyzes the four essential elements of fiction: theme, plot, characterization, and style. She demonstrates her ideas by dissecting her best-known works, as well as those of other famous authors, such as Thomas Wolfe, Sinclair Lewis, and Victor Hugo. An historic accomplishment, this compendium will be a unique and fascinating resource for both writers and readers of fiction.

Produktbeschreibungen

Amazon.de

In 1958, a year after the publication of Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand gathered a group of student readers and writers in her living room for a series of 12 four-hour lectures about fiction. The Art of Fiction evolved from that course. Though Rand's Romantic Manifesto was also partly based on the same lecture series, this book omits (for the most part) Rand's discussions of other art forms. Its gist is a case for fiction that is "Romantic" (deriving from a belief in free will) rather than "Naturalistic" (allowing for fate).

It is hard to be ambivalent about Ayn Rand. Rand spoke in absolutes, and either you buy it or you don't. There is plenty of fiber and nutritious material in this book, but the Rand agnostic may find it hard to digest. Rand's ego is enormous and her dismissiveness petty most every step of the way. "In regard to precision of language," says Rand, who uses her work throughout the book to exemplify her points, "I think I myself am the best writer today." But woe to any other author, excluding Victor Hugo, Mickey Spillane, and, with reservations, Dostoyevsky. "To see how not to write," advises Rand, "read [Thomas Wolfe's] descriptive passages." Sinclair Lewis, she says, is a "perceptive but superficial observer." James Joyce? "He is worse than Gertrude Stein. ...He uses words from different languages, makes up some words of his own, and calls that literature."

Still, Rand does have some useful things to say to the fiction writer. Perhaps most important is her emphatic belief in the concrete. "In order to be completely free with words," she intones, "you must know countless concretes under your abstractions." It is only the concrete, she adds, that will lead the reader to your abstractions, your themes. Along related lines, Rand believes firmly that "If a writer feels that he was unable fully to express what he wanted to express, it means that he did not know clearly what he wanted to express"--no more blaming it on writer's block for you! And remember: "A good style is one that conveys the most with the greatest economy of words." This means that "when you draw a character, everything that you say about him acquires significance by the mere fact of being included in your story." The bottom line is that "Art is selectivity." --Jane Steinberg

Über den Autor und weitere Mitwirkende

Born February 2, 1905, Ayn Rand published her first novel, We the Living, in 1936. Anthem followed in 1938. It was with the publication of The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957) that she achieved her spectacular success. Rand’s unique philosophy, Objectivism, has gained a worldwide audience. The fundamentals of her philosophy are put forth in three nonfiction books, Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology, The Virtues of Selfishness, and Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal. They are all available in Signet editions, as is the magnificent statement of her artistic credo, The Romantic Manifesto.

Lee Sandstead

A Great Book!

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 11. Dezember 1999

.
Author: Lee Sandstead Subject: Suffering and tragedy in art
I never had a full justification why I love movies such as "Life is Beautiful," "Braveheart," and "Cyrano de Bergerac." They all present heroes, who die tragic deaths. Ayn Rand, in her new book on fiction writing, gives me the answer.
"The justification for presenting tragic endings in literature is to show, as in "We the Living," that the human spirit can survive even the worst of circumstances--that the worst that the chance events of nature or the evil of other people can do will not defeat the proper human spirit. To quote from Galt's speech in "Atlas Shrugged": "Suffering as such is not a value; only man's fight against suffering, is."
I highly recommend this book to everyone. There is bound to be some piece of information that will come as a revelation; for me, there has been many.
Best, Lee Sandstead Memphis, TN (Soon to be NYC)

Worth Reading

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 17. Dezember 1999

The best part of this book is its tips on how to construct an exciting plot-from developing plot conflicts to compounding the burdens on protagonists, to creating the seminal event in which all conflicts converge. I find the hardest part in writing to be the sub-plots and this book was very helpful in developing sub-plots that belong to the main story line. Ayn Rand also emphasized the importance of action to make visible a character's journey and that not all stories that record even a good character's impressions of the world make good stories (such as memoirs), although she didn't mention memoirs in her book. She adds on p. 42, "I believe with Victor Hugo that the more melodramatic the action in which one can express the drama, the better the story. If you can unite the two-if you can give a relevant and logical physical expression to the spiritual conflict you present-then you have high-class drama." Ayn Rand gives helpful objective definitions to drama verses melodrama to make her point. She also explains what it takes to create suspense.
The only part missing from this book that I would have liked is a more complete discussion on "extravagant romanticism" (as mentioned in "Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life") verses Romanticism, the emphasis on volition. What was the "extravagant romanticism" of Fritz Lang movies verses the "adequate" job done with the Fountainhead movie? That is something elusive that I would like to understand.
Ayn Rand also contrasts her writing with other famous writers. She explains why I've never been able to stand reading fiction stories except her own. Her comparisons show why. So, if you are even mildly interested in writing, this book will make you excited to write because it will teach you how. It will give you a power you don't realize you have so that you can unleash your imagination to create stories of your own. If you come up with any good stories, you can learn to make them into movies at cyberspacefilmschool.com and become a millionaire director/producer.

A must for everybody who loves to read fiction

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 23. Dezember 1999

I have always enjoyed the novels of great writers like Tolstoy, Dostojevskij, Hugo, Jane Austen, Hamsun, Ayn Rand. In this book, Ayn Rand explains what too look for in a novel in order to enjoy it more. Her analysis of several well known authors makes reading the great authors even more satisfying.
The book is based upon informal seminars given by Ayn Rand in 1958, but the style of this book is so elegant that it could have been written by Ayn Rand herself. The editor has done a marvellous job.

worthwhile insights into Rand's epistemology

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 4. Februar 2000

Not intending to write fiction, I read the book primarily as a source on Rand's philosophy. Since she is instructing her students in writing, she absolutely must focus on action, as distinct from theory. The result is that she clarifies the meanings of many of the terms used in her epistemological work. This work should be read as an adjunct to her Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology.
Also, check out her account of humor. It is most incongruous to reality.

What a Surprise!

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 19. Februar 2000

I've been a fan of Ayn Rand since 1966. What a delight and surprise to find this new book with so much clarified in the art of her own writing and thinking.
This is a real how-to book for the aspiring writer. I recommend it highly. Even if you don't agree with Rand's philosphy, you will learn how to construct plot. And remember, plot sells!

Judge for Yourself

Kundenrezension aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 am 15. Juni 2000

As with all of Miss Rand's work, my advice is to ignore the reviews (especially the negative ones), buy the book, and *judge for yourself.* If a magnificent view of life and of Man is of any value to you, I promise - you won't be disappointed.

Ayn Rand - worth a read...

Kundenrezension aus Großbritannien 🇬🇧 am 18. Mai 2015

Verifizierter Kauf

No-nonsense advice from 1958. Culled from a series of friendly lectures given in Ayn Rands' living room, the book is clear, old-fashioned, good sense. She uses examples from Victor Hugo, Mickey Spillaine and her own work. An old fashioned 'how-to' book by someone who has lived the writing life. She poses questions that stimulate further reading and writing. Even if you don't agree with her philosophy of Objectivism, The Art of Fiction could add further depth to your reading and writing.

Get the secrets of Ayn Rand's writing through this book

Kundenrezension aus Indien 🇮🇳 am 5. April 2014

Verifizierter Kauf

Tore Boeckmann and Leonard Peikoff have done a tremendous job in putting this book together. They made a class alive again taken by Ayn Rand on writing. Ayn’s speaking is captured in this book. One can learn various aspects of writing through this book. And might be one can write like Ayn and produce hit novels.

Must read for moderate level writer as it give deep insights and take you to next level. I didn’t mention start-up writers as from my point the book do not follow a chronological order to learn writing from start.
