What better place to go to rekindle the memory of Ayn Rand than Ouray, Colorado- "the Switzerland of America"... please bring with you a copy of the book. Atlas Shrugged is a novel by Ayn Rand, first published in 1957 in the United States. The book is over one thousand pages in length and approximately 645,000 words. This was Ayn Rand's last work of fiction and her magnum opus.
The novel's title is an allusion to the Greek Titan Atlas who held up the pillars of the universe on his shoulders.
John Galt's speech is the core of Atlas Shrugged, Galt explains the philosophy of Objectivism in Chapter "This is John Galt Speaking." It comprises 56 pages of the book.
Throughout the novel, people repeat a platitude Dagny (Taggart) greatly resents: "Who is John Galt?" It is a reflection of their helplessness as the saying means "Don't ask important questions, because we don't have answers."
But towards the closing of the novel, it will be answered.
To answer the question "Who is John Galt?"
