SynopsisWe the Living portrays the impact of the Russian Revolution on three people who demand the right to live their own lives. At its center is a girl whose passionate love is her fortress against the cruelty and oppression of a totalitarian state. Ayn Rand said: It is as near to an autobiography as I will ever write., 'It is as near to an autobiography as I will ever write. The plot is invented, the background is not . . . The specific events of Kira's life were not mi≠her ideas, her convictions, her values, were and are.' Ayn Rand We the Living depicts the struggle of the individual against the state, the impact of the Russian Revolution on three human beings who demand the right to live their own lives and pursue their own happiness. It tells of a young woman's passionate love, held like a fortress against the corrupting evil of a totalitarian state. This classic novel is not a story of politics, but of the men and women who have to struggle for existence behind the Red banners and slogans. It is a picture of what those slogans do to human beings. What happens to the defiant ones? What happens to those who succumb? This edition includes an introduction by Ayn Rand's heir, Leonard Reikoff.
