After reading two books of Ayn Rand and really appreciate them all, I read Anthem. This edition is very interesting; it contains the book Anthem, but also the original version hand-edited by the author itself, which makes it also a historic document. It is a short book and quick to read. On the other side it is a very profound subject and an audacious proposal. The book is a story of a family under a communist regime or collectivism society. And in this society the word “I” does not exists, since individualism is not accepted. So during the whole story, the author uses the word “we”. It is a very interesting experience. It is a philosophical book but also a novel. My second favorite kind of book after biographies. It is my personal opinion, but I recommend the book since it is not a time investment such as Atlas Shrugged’s 1000 pages.
