Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand
Atlas Shrugged is the “second most influential book for Americans today” after the Bible, according to a joint survey of five thousand people conducted by the Library of Congress and the Book of the Month Club in 1991.
In a scrap heap within an abandoned factory, the greatest invention in history lies dormant and unused. By what fatal error of judgment has its value gone unrecognized, its brilliant inventor punished rather than rewarded for his efforts?
This is the story of a man who said that he would stop the motor of the world—and did. In defense of those greatest of human qualities that have made civilization possible, he sets out to show what would happen to the world if all the heroes of innovation and industry went on strike. Is he a destroyer or a liberator? Why does he have to fight his battle not against his enemies but against those who need him most? Why does he fight his hardest battle against the woman he loves? The answers will be revealed once you discover the reason behind the baffling events that wreak havoc on the lives of the amazing men and women in this remarkable book.
Tremendous in scope and breathtaking in its suspense, Atlas Shrugged is Ayn Rand’s magnum opus, which launched an ideology and a movement. With the publication of this work in 1957, Rand gained an instant following and became a phenomenon. Atlas Shrugged emerged as a premier moral apologia for capitalism, a defense that had an electrifying effect on millions of readers (and now listeners) who had never heard capitalism defended in other than technical terms.
With gorgeous descriptions of the Alaskan wilds and a vivid cast of characters – including Forrester; his wife, Sophie; a mysterious Eyak guide; and a Native American woman who joins the expedition – To the Bright Edge of the World is an epic tale of one of America’s last frontiers, combining myth, history, romance, and adventure.

Adult Art Classes
2024-09-13 17:00 - 19:00 | Clausen Cabin, 3629 Main Street, Ester, 99725
Join us and Willow Art Studios for different adult art classes. This week we’ll learn batik!
Bring a white shirt or basic material will be provided. This project is adding a wax design and dyeing fabric to make a unique and lasting design to fabric. What’s nice about this method is that it lasts a long time and there are no plastic dyes that crack and feel uncomfortable to the skin. This method of designing on fabric is an old way of art
and takes lots of practice to get it right but all designs come out looking really neat and
original. You get to pick out the color dyes you want to use and use them to make your own
design. Materials: Wax, Material Linen, Dye, and Wash Tubs
$10 art fee
