BOOK REVIEW
We The Liviug Engrosses Readers
By Kathleen Dale
Ann Rand’s book We The Living
is surely one of the most engrossing
and inspiring books that I have read
in many months.
The action of the book moves
swiftly, set in the months that fol
lowed the Bolshevik Revolution in
Russia. It was a time of chaos and
oppression for the majority of people
living in Russia.
We The Living is the story of a
young girl named Kvia who fought
against the hammer and sickle in
order to live and love as she pleased.
Her love was torn between a com
munist and a counter-revolutionary,
who both loved her and wanted her.
She chose to live with Leo, the coun
ter-revolutionary, a choice which in
turn led to her destruction.
This book is the manifestation of
Miss Rand’s philosophy of life. She
herself lived in Russia and fled after
the communist takeover.
Other tremendous books written
by Miss Rand include Atlas Shrug
ged and The Fountainhead.
