Atlas Shrugged

I remember how in 2017 I read in a newspaper that Atlas Shrugged had been translated into Finnish, 60 years after its original publication. I had seen the novel mentioned here and there before, which usually signifies a classic. I thought it was kind of an oddly long wait for such a book to get a translation. Maybe the novel's resurgence after the 2007 financial crisis had something to do with it finally getting a Finnish print: evidently just in 2011 Atlas Shrugged's English editions sold nearly half a million copies which I think is impressive for an old book.
