5 Star Amazon Review

"Well-written, extremely well-researched, scholarly collection of essays on what the author calls 'the greatest American novel ever written'. I tend to agree. This book is thoughtful, searching, and a pleasure to read. And it enhances one's enjoyment of the classic 1943 novel itself."

Emre’s Fountainhead Essays show why the Fountainhead is the great American novel; why Howard Roark brings out the best in people; and why the Fountainhead’s individualism and capitalism is superior to the book’s collectivism and Communism. 

Emre’s We the Living essays show how communism destroys people’s lives in the novel, how civilization crumbles because Communists reward people if they are socially useful to the State but destroys people who do not conform to governmental dictates; and lastly, shows readers that characters yearn to live in a free country. Because they know that in a free country their civil rights will be respected, and their basic human dignity will be cherished.
