Who is John Galt?
1 of 1 found this helpful Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand's masterpiece work. Deeply developed characters, intricately and concisely described, and given colorful, appropriate names, act out a mesmerizing story. The book showcases Ayn Rand's philosophy of "objectivism". This should be a must read for our high school students today. The main reason it likely won't be is the book's over 1000 page length.
Do not be dissuaded by the book's length, however. It does not have to be read in one sitting. Much like a captivating mini-series on TV, Atlas Shrugged will have you longing to get back to the next installment. Although it was written in 1957, it takes little imagination to see the story being played out today.
"Who is John Galt?" The question runs throughout the story and is asked repeatedly. Indeed, just who is John Galt? Dagny Taggart, the dynamic and driven female protagonist of Atlas Shrugged, wrestles with the meaning of the phrase as she heads the operations of the railroad that she and her brother James Taggart own. A stronger lead character can scarcely be found.
The realness of the characters, the multiple venues, so vividly described, and the several mysteries woven into the tale make this an excellent read. Why else, more than half a century after it was written would Atlas Shrugged still be such a great selling book? Perhaps it is because people can see so much of what is happening in American politics today reflected precisely in the story Ayn Rand wrote, and realize that the current philosophy being pursued is one that does not play well in Atlas Shrugged.
This book comes highly recommended.
