|  | The True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey
Peter Carey tells the story of Australia's most famous outlaw, Ned Kelly, who was executed as a murderer and a horse thief in 1880. The facts of Kelly's brief life are revealed in a series of letters, very much in his own quirky vernacular voice, that he writes to the baby daughter he never sees. What is clear from Peter Carey's account is that poverty, hardship, and the prejudice of the English police force toward the Irish are all part of the plight of Ned Kelly--a good boy gone wrong who became a national hero. THE TRUE HISTORY OF THE KELLY GANG was a New York Times Editor's Choice for 2001. AUTHOR: Peter Carey

 | Anthem by Ayn Rand, Chris Lane, Leonard Peikoff, Paul Meier
A novel about a man who lives in the dark ages of the future, in a loveless world where it takes courage to love the woman of his choice and pursue knowledge. Writing in opposition to the collectivist sentiments of modern times, Rand sought to illustrate the threats to human liberty inherent in social notions of altruism and charity, and in Anthem she creates a picture of an entire world sunk into barbarism through a misplaced sense of social obligation. AUTHOR: Ayn Rand, Chris Lane, Leonard Peikoff, Paul Meier
