It is a sin to write this. It is a sin to think words no others think and to put them down upon a paper no others are to see. It is base and evil. It is as if we were speaking alone to no ears but our own. And we know well that there is no transgression blacker than to do or think alone. We have broken the laws. The laws say that men may not write unless the Council of Vocations bid them so. May we be forgiven!

Review of 'Anthem' on 'Goodreads'

Un futur dystopique intéressant, dans la même veine que Atlas Shrugged, où tout individualisme a été effacé au profit de la seule communauté et où toute différence supérieure est pourchassée pour le bien de tous. Malheureusement le héros sonne creux, découvrant des choses beaucoup plus facilement, de manière innée à un point illogique, assez classique chez Ayn Rand mais un peu décevant. De même la fin en long monologue philosophique est un peu lourde à supporter.

Review of 'Anthem' on 'Goodreads'

Interesting until you figure out the moral is nobody should help others, and you should think only of yourself. Rand's only saving grace is her Atheism.
