We the Living by Ayn Rand

4.0

---

A very informative book, I must say. A bit disturbing too. I liked it because of the fact that the author has made sure that no gruesome or painful part is left out. To a person who wants to learn more about Communism, this is the best bet. Although, it is from the bourgeois perspective. I would call it a story of survival. The book, pretty much anti-communist, is about the life of people in Russia immediately after the Bolshevik Revolution. It is a story of people who strive to live. Hence, the title. Kira Argounova's character is a very complex one. An ex-bourgeois living in Revolutionized Russia, her part is justified. The love triangle between the three protagonists is another piece in the puzzle. A great book to read!
