The Fountainhead
The Fountainhead

Unyielding architect battles society and personal integrity.

"The Fountainhead" might just change the way you think about individualism and creativity. It's a deep dive into the philosophy of Objectivism but woven through the intricate lives of compelling characters. If you enjoy novels that challenge societal norms and celebrate the strength of human spirit, Ayn Rand's portrayal of Howard Roark as the epitome of principled living against all odds could be inspiring. This isn't just a story; it's a manifesto for those who dare to dream and do differently.

Description

The revolutionary literary vision that sowed the seeds of Objectivism, Ayn Rand's groundbreaking philosophy, and brought her immediate worldwide acclaim. This modern classic is the story of intransigent young architect Howard Roark, whose integrity was as unyielding as granite...of Dominique Francon, the exquisitely beautiful woman who loved Roark passionately, but married his worst enemy...and of the fanatic denunciation unleashed by an enraged society against a great creator. As fresh today as it was then, Rand’s provocative novel presents one of the most challenging ideas in all of fiction—that man’s ego is the fountainhead of human progress...“A writer of great power. She has a subtle and ingenious mind and the capacity of writing brilliantly, beautifully, bitterly...This is the only novel of ideas written by an American woman that I can recall.”—The New York Times
