Erika Holzer is an American novelist and essayist〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biographies: 2004: Erika Holzer )〕 who was a member of Ayn Rand's inner circle. Her novel ''Eye for an Eye'' was the basis for a major motion picture of the same name. She has also co-authored two nonfiction books with her husband, professor of law Henry Mark "Hank" Holzer. ==Career== Erika and her husband, both lawyers, were students of Rand's philosophy of Objectivism in New York City during the 1960s. In 1966 Erika and Rand, who was a best-selling novelist, began what would become a series of discussions about the art of writing. Henry Mark Holzer became Rand's personal attorney.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=From Ayn Rand to Animal Rights: An Interview with Henry Mark Holzer )〕 In the late 1960s, the Holzers managed to track down an original negative, thought to have been destroyed, of a 1942 Italian two-part film which had been adapted from Rand's first novel ''We the Living''. Erika helped Duncan Scott restore the film, edit it under Rand's guidance, and write English subtitles for the 1986 re-release of the film. Encouraged by Rand, Erika embarked upon a new career as a writer; her first novel, ''Double Crossing'', received critical acclaim and was a finalist for the 1984 Prometheus Award for Best Novel. The plot revolves around the conflict between two brothers born in the Soviet Union, one becoming a powerful official in the Soviet police and the other secretly planning his escape from the Communist regime. Her second novel, ''Eye for an Eye'', was published in 1993. Its plot centers on a mother who joins a vigilante group after the criminal justice system releases her daughter's murderer. In 1996 Paramount Pictures released a film adaptation (also titled ''Eye for an Eye''), directed by John Schlesinger and starring Sally Field and Kiefer Sutherland; Erika was not involved with the film production. She has also given interviews and written numerous essays for Objectivist, libertarian, and conservative web sites. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Erika Holzer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
