Miovas, Jr.07/26/2015“Ideal” is a novel about a young, idealistic, and beautiful actress -- Kay Gonda -- who is troubled by the state of the world as she attempts to present the ideal in life on the silver screen – that life can be auspicious, grand; well worth living. She has achieved a great success and has millions of adoring fans; but on the night rumors are spread that she has murdered a millionaire, the last man she was seen with, she decides to visit several fans who have written her unusually perceptive fan letters stating that they know of her ideal and would defend that ideal to the end of their lives. As she goes to meet them, the reader is permitted to read the letters they had written her. Along with very accurate and telling character sketches, one gets to see how they will take the fact that she is asking for protection from the authorities on the night of the accusation. Will they defend and protect the ideals they have identified, even if only vaguely; or will they betray it in the presence of she who fully embodies that ideal? This is the issue raised by “Ideal;” and the reactions of her fans is poignant and revealing of who they really are, each in turn, as they consider the issues in her presence.Is “Ideal” a tragedy or a triumph?You'd have to read the novel to understand the answer to that question. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lost and Found *by R***. on August 21, 2015* This is a most interesting volume. Any Rand began by writing a novel, then decided that the story would be best presented as a play. Both are presented here. It is a most interesting study that should be studied by anyone interested in writing development. It is most welcome that this lost novel/play has been discovered and published. I highly recommend it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ayn's Hollywood Novel *by R***N on July 24, 2015* Worry and skepticism usually accompany the publication of long buried manuscripts by famous authors. For example, Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman is currently being pounded by waves of disappointment from her many fans. That might also happen to Ideal, written in 1934 and quickly superseded by a stage version of the same story, the script for which is included in the book. Readers may expect (and desire) an early statement of Rand’s hyperindividualistic beliefs. If so, they are going to be disappointed. This is a Hollywood novel, securely connected to time and place.Rand’s great accomplishment here is putting together the two sides of the Hollywood novel in one coherent piece of fiction. In the first chapter readers receive a glimpse of a film studio and its most important personages. In the rest of the novel Rand turns her attention to the consumers of what the studios produce. In particular, she focuses on those who imagine a personal connection with the actors they see on the movie screen. Although Kay is the main character of the novel, the narrator stays out of her mind. Even when she’s in a scene, readers learn about her only through her words and actions. Although she brings up serious issues about personal identity and the movie business, Rand wants to avoid overwhelming her audience. The novel is short, employs a straightforward writing style, and avoids any sort of ideological argument. Whatever aficionados of her later work may think, fans of the Hollywood novel are likely to enjoy what Rand has offered them here. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/16092057-ideal-hardcover-july-7-2015](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/16092057-ideal-hardcover-july-7-2015) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
