We The Living (by Ayn Rand)

WE THE LIVING by Ayn Rand (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).

“A colossal love story with a massive philosophical framework.” (Miami News)

“We 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.”
