Ayn Rand Biography of Ayn Rand :

Ayn Rand was Russian born American writer. She was also a screenwriter, philosopher and a playwright. Her writings always reflected her political views, both in her theoretical and fictional works. She’s best known for her works - The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. Ayn Rand highly advocated individual’s rights and detested communism and fascism.

When Ayn Rand was born on February 2, 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia, she was named Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum. She was born to Anna and Zinovy Rosenbaum - a chemist. As a child she was always praised for her intelligence. When Rand was 12 years old ‘The Russian Revolution’ (1917) broke out which had an impact on her. After the Russian Revolution, she went to college in University of Petrograd and graduated when she was 22 years old.
She changed her surname to Rand based on her association with the typewriter she used (a Remington-Rand typewriter) after she moved to the United States in the year 1926.

From the year 1926 to 1932 Ayn Rand worked as a junior scriptwriter for Hollywood. Following this, she worked as a free- lance script reader for RKO Pictures. In the year 1929 she got married to Frank O’Connor - an actor in Hollywood at that time.
Ayn Rand’s first success as a writer was in the year 1932 when she sold her screenplay Red Pawn to Universal Studios. In the year 1936 her novel We The Family was published but it wasn’t a huge success. Success came to her when her play Night of The January 16th came out. The plot was set in a courtroom where the verdict was to be decided by the audience.

In the year 1943, her novel The Fountainhead was published and it became such a huge success. This novel marked Rand’s first major success as a novelist. Written over a period of seven years, the story revolved around an architect named Howard Roark who chose to work in obscurity rather than compromise with his artistic works. Before this novel got published it was rejected by 12 publishers. However it was published by Bobbs-Merrill Company after the editor of the company Archibald Ogden insisted on publishing it. This novel gave Rand financial stability and fame. The book’s copyright was later bought by Warner Brothers which was made into a movie eventually.

After the success of The Fountainhead, her next novel Atlas Shrugged was published in the year 1957 which turned out to be her magnum opus. The book was her expression of human achievement and basically her philosophy of objectivism. Ayn Rand’s philosophy was very well received and appreciated mostly by college students in the 1950s. From the 1960s to the 1970s, Ayn Rand promoted her philosophy of objectivism in her nonfiction works and through lectures given at Yale University, Princeton University, Harvard University, Michigan institute of Technology and Columbia University.

In the year 1982, on March 6, Ayn Rand passed away in New York City. Her books still continue to be widely sold and read. Till date 25 million copies of her book have been sold and 800,000 copies continue to be sold every year.
