More Description The 75th anniversary of Ayn Rand's powerful and passionate first novel.
In this tensely dramatic story, Ayn Rand shows what the theories of Communism mean in practice.
We the Living is not a story of politics, but of the men and women who have to struggle for existence behind the Red banners and slogans.
