Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 171
In this beautifully written and brilliantly reasoned collection of essays, Ayn Rand throws new light on the nature of art and its purpose in human life. Once again, she demonstrates her bold originality and her refusal to let conventional ideas define her sense of the truth. Rand eloquently asserts that one cannot create art without infusing it with one's own value judgments and personal philosophy - even an attempt to withhold moral overtones only results in a deterministic or naturalistic message.

Page turner !!
Revisado: 01-13-23
As a Ayn Rand fan I have read many of her shorter and smaller philosophical books.This one tops them off! Reading her views on the art is just breathtaking! She words it in such a way no one else can. Highly recommend, assuming you have already read Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. Do not read this until you have read those.

What is feminism? In this short, accessible primer, Bell Hooks explores the nature of feminism and its positive promise to eliminate sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression. With her characteristic clarity and directness, Hooks encourages readers to see how feminism can touch and change their lives - to see that feminism is for everybody.

Great short read !

The audio felt a little off and a bit robotic at times when discussing certain topics. But the powerful storyline I think made up for it.

This is Ayn Rand's challenge to the prevalent philosophical doctrines of our time and the "atmosphere of guilt, of panic, of despair, of boredom, and of all-pervasive evasion" that they create. One of the most controversial figures on the intellectual scene, Ayn Rand was the proponent of a moral philosophy, an ethic of rational self-interest, that stands in sharp opposition to the ethics of altruism and self-sacrifice.

“This is John Galt Speaking”
Anyone reading this review I encourage you to read this book it will change your life ! That is as long as your not a looter..
I have read all the books featured in this book. I highly recommend reading/listening to all of them before reading this book.
The person reading the book was okay, I would have liked more enthusiasm at certain parts of the book, but overall pretty good audio. The context of the book is so rich that the audio isn’t distracting from the subject mater.
Hope you read this and understand that A is A.

Here are two sisters: One trades self-respect for a wealthy husband while the other finds in the pages of a book a kindred spirit who changes her life. The janitor at the local school has his faith tested in an encounter with an isolated man he has come to help; a grown daughter longs for mother love even as she comes to accept her mother's happiness in a foreign country; and the adult Lucy Barton (the heroine of My Name Is Lucy Barton, the author's celebrated New York Times best seller) returns to visit her siblings after 17 years of absence.

The reader miss pronounced the name Isa. That was really the only flaw in the audio.

Speaker
Revisado: 12-09-18
I enjoy the book itself but the speaker was hard for me to understand at times. However it was much easier to help me understand the story with the different character voices.

In the rigid theocracy of Salem, Massachusetts, rumors that women are practicing witchcraft galvanize the town. In a searing portrait of a community engulfed by panic—with ruthless prosecutors, and neighbors eager to testify against neighbor—The Crucible famously mirrors the anti-Communist hysteria that held the United States in its grip in the 1950’s.

Overall the acting in the book was all right
Revisado: 07-04-18
I enjoy the book itself but the audio was not the best. I bought a hard copy of the book to follow along with the audio and it was not easy to follow along since the audio skipped some parts that are written in the book.
