"As to Europe-keep it in a gray, ominous, evil fog."-Ayn Rand
(1905-1982) thus commented on the role of Europe in her key novel,
Atlas Shrugged (1957). The same could be said of the way Europe
features in her own biography and in the general perception of her
persona. Even though Rand was born in pre-revolutionary Russia, she
is nowadays considered anAmerican phenomenon, whose reach ends at
the Atlantic shore. This book lifts the "gray fog" cast over her
relationship with Europe, retracing the changing perception of the
continent in both her fiction and thought. Her apparent lack of
success with European readers is often explained by allegedly
different reading tastes. However, a look at her publication
history and reception shows that many factors played a role why her
work found fewer European than US readers. Finally, an archipelago
of European readers and admirers emerges which is testament to
Rand's impact on European art and politics.
