Ayn Rand, a Russian-American novelist, philosopher and playwrite, was born in the year 1905 in saint petersberg, Russia. Though she is most famous for her novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, she has written a total of 4 Best Selling novels including Anthem and We the Living, along with the two listed above. Ayn Rand is one of the world's most famous authors mainly because of her unique philosophy on life, death and other serious issues surrounding us every day. Her opinions are anything but mundane and are often very shocking, and her willingness to share them with the world captivated her readers. Because of this, cults based on her unique ideologies have been firmed and still exist today, even after her death in 1982.

I have chosen to make Ayn Rand the topic of this blog because many individuals are not aware of the deeper meanings and beliefs behind this authors intriguing novels and exceedingly bold claims. There are some who are not even familiar with the author at all. I believe that Ayn Rand is a classic in modern literature, which I will later explain. She has deeply touched my life and thoughts, and I think that for others, she will do the same.
