Ayn Rand was born in St. Petersburg, Russia, on February 2, 1905. At age six she taught herself to read and two years later discovered her first fictional hero in a French magazine for children, thus capturing the heroic vision which sustained her throughout her life. At the age of nine, she decided to make fiction writing her career. Thoroughly opposed to the mysticism and collectivism of Russian culture, she thought of herself as a European writer, especially after encountering Victor Hugo, the writer she most admired.

February, 2012 In his first three novels, New York Times best-selling author Matthew Pearl gave new meaning to the "writer's writer," exploring the tales of real-life figures from literary history—not the usual fodder for page-turners. First was The Dante Club , a murder mystery guided by the Inferno , then The Poe Shadow , a thriller based on the unexplained circumstances surrounding the death of the master of the macabre, and most recently The Last Dickens , an adventure novel set on the hunt for the great Victorian writer's lost manuscript. Now Pearl's latest work exchanges the literary past for the scientific. In The Technologists , students in the first graduating class of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology investigate a series of deadly events in 1868 Boston, a time when most found the freshly coined term "technology" to be frightening.
