[edit] Information
Ayn Rand (b. Alice Rosenbaum) was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Escaping from Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life. Later, she would also defy the cultural and political views of contemporary America in such best-selling novels as THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, challenged the cultural tradition of 2,500 years. She attained a worldwide fame and a readership numbering in the millions. Yet, Ayn Rand achieved these results as a literary outsider. Her reputation spread through relentless word of mouth among readers who found—and continue to find—a uniquely inspiring philosophy of life presented in her entertaining and dramatic novels. One of the most controversial thinkers of the twentieth century, her total book sales have exceeded 30 million copies. AYN RAND: A SENSE OF LIFE is an Academy Award-nominated, feature-length documentary that illustrates the author's own sense of life. It paints a portrait of a woman whose work has remained in print for over fifty years and continues to inspire new generations of readers. It incorporates interviews with the people who knew Ayn Rand best, photos from her personal archives, film clips and original animated sequences to tell her remarkable story-a story of a "life more compelling than fiction."
