Abstract
ABSTRACT:This article reviews the book Ayn Rand e il fascismo eterno. Una narrazione distopica, by Diana Thermes. This is the first Italian book specifically devoted to Rand's thought and novels. Thermes has conducted her study in a remarkably original way, profusely interrelating Rand's fiction works with the long-standing tradition of dystopian literature and her analysis of collectivism with the most significant contributions on the nature and causes of totalitarianism, as well as illustrating the relevance of Rand's ideas in the face of present-day challenges.
