This remarkable, newly revised collection of Ayn Rand's early fiction - now including her previously unpublished short story, "The Night King" - ranges from beginner's exercises to excerpts from early versions of "We the Living" and "The Fountainhead". Arranged chronologically, from 1926 through 1940, these works allow readers to follow the extraordinary trajectory of Rand's literary and intellectual growth, from a twenty-one-year-old Russian immigrant struggling to master English to the brilliant prose stylist she was to become in her mature work.

Born February 2, 1905, AYN RAND published her first novel, "We the Living", in 1936. "Anthem" followed in 1938. It was with the publication of "The Fountainhead" (1943) and "Atlas Shrugged" (1957) that she achieved her spectacular success. Ms Rand's unique philosphy, Objectivism, has gained a worldwide audience. The fundamentals of her philosophy are put forth in three nonfiction books, "Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology", "The Virtue of Selfisheness", and "Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal". They are all available in Signet editions, as is the magnificent statement of her artistic credo, "The Romantic Manifesto".
