Ayn Rand (born Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum; February 2, 1905 – March 6, 1982) was a Russian-American writer and philosopher known for her contributions to literature with themes advocating individualism and capitalism. Rand's works remain popular for their strong narrative style and provocative ideas, while her philosophy remains a subject of both admiration and critique in philosophical and political discourse.  
Anthem is a dystopian novella set in a future where individuality has been eradicated, and collectivism rules supreme. It serves as a critique of collectivism, warning against the dehumanization that can occur when individual rights are sacrificed for the supposed good of the collective. It's a concise exploration of Rand's Objectivism, focusing on the virtues and importance of the individual's mind and freedom.

Ancient heroes from Irish mythology and folklore come to life in the modern world in this dark, atmospheric story. At once a thrilling chase novel and a wry reimagining of Ireland's oldest epic. 
 
 
 
Everybody is after the girl in the bog. 
 
 
 
One morning in a field in Connemara, a farmer unearths the body of a young woman, two thousand years old, preserved under layers of peat. Later that evening, she awakens in unfamiliar modern Ireland, ripping a hole through space and time and setting awhirl old animosities and long-held grudges. 
 
 
 
Shadowy figures follow her from the pagan past, and each emerges with a claim on the girl from the bog. With help from a trio of wannabe teenage witches, she goes on the run. Joining in the chase is an American archaeologist who wants to keep the discovery for herself and two befuddled farmers trapped in the plot. Hosts of fairies out for the night work their magic and mischief, and in the blue hour before sunrise, the saga unfolds in a battle for the ages. 
 
 
 
Part fantasy, part mystery, part thriller, part send-up, this comic and poignant love song to Irish literature and the gift of gab does not merely bend genres; it braids them into Celtic knots.
