Title: WE THE LIVING [Signed]
Author: Rand, Ayn
Seller: Second Story Books, ABAA (United States)
Description: New York, NY: The Macmillan Company, 1936. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover. Octavo, 570 pages. In Good condition. Missing issued dust jacket. Aged tan spine with blue lettering. Boards are wrapped in publisher's tan cloth with blue lettering along the spine and front cover, have mild shelving wear, stains throughout, light bumping along the front fore corners, and mild to moderate age-toning throughout. Textblock is lightly cocked, large closed tears along the tail edges of pages 87-90, light soiling on some pages, stains on the end-pages and pastedowns, a sticker from previous owners on the front pastedown, mild wear along the edges, stains on the head and tail edges, and moderate age-toning along the edges. Inscription on the front end-page reading "To John F. Lane - - Cordially -", signed Ayn Rand, dated "October 31, 1947". DL consignment. Shelved in Case 2. Born Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum on February 2, 1905 in Saint Petersburg Russia, Rosenbaum would adopt the name Ayn Rand as her professional name under which all her writings would be published. Rand has become most known for her politics, being one of the founding mothers of Libertarianism and the founder of the Objectivist movement, ideologies which have influenced many right-wing and conservative politics into the modern day. Rand would emigrate to the US in 1925, first finding work as a screenwriter for film and stage. "We the Living" would be published in 1936 and was Rand's first novel. A semi-autobiographical novel, "We the Living" was initially a commercial faliure in the US, going out of print by late 1937 as Macmillan destroyed the plates with only 3,000 copies sold. "We the Living" would be reprinted in 1959 to much greater success following the success of "Atlas Shrugged" in 1957, this second edition selling over 3 million copies and notably having several passages removed. 1392881.

Condition: Fine
Description: New York: Harper / Harper Collins, 2024. First Thus. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 6x1x9. Fatchurofi, Muhammad; Bozic, Milan. First printing of 50th anniversary edition. Brand new from publisher. An exceptional copy. 2024 Hard Cover. xvi, 361 pp. 8vo. Includes new introduction by Karen Joy Fowler. An important work of utopian fiction by Le Guin, which won the Hugo, Nebula, and Locus awards, and was nominated for the John W. Campbell award. On the surface, Le Guin's story of the brilliant physicist Shevek is a tale of a futuristic world, and the struggle of the civilizations on two separate planets to reconcile with each other's way of life. Beneath the surface run deep undercurrents of meaning -- philosophical, religious, and scientific themes that transcend the story itself. Shevek's quest to reconcile two seemingly antithetical schools of theoretical physics is also the individual's quest to reconcile individuality with social behavior, identity with belonging, and freedom with responsibility. Colored by the Taoist sensibilities with which Le Guin has long been fascinated, the parallels drawn in The Dispossessed are simultaneously vivid and subtle -- the style of writing embodies the very ideas that Le Guin attempts to convey. Widely praised even beyond the usual literary circles of science fiction, The Dispossessed is a true masterpiece, the consummation of a unique and detailed vision of a distant world surprisingly similar to our own.
