Both a warning about the future and a celebration of the power of the individual, Ayn Rand's novel Anthem ranks with George Orwell's 1984, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, and Yevgeny Zamyatin's WE as one of the most important dystopian works ever written. Unfortunately, existing versions of Anthem contain numerous textual errors. Based on extensive original research, the Monadnock Valley Press edition restores the definitive text for the first time in over 65 years. Also included are detailed textual notes describing the differences between various published versions.
