The Fountainhead

by Ayn Rand
The Fountainhead
The Fountainhead

Individualism triumphs in visionary artist's battle.

"The Fountainhead" isn't just a book; it's a bold dive into the mind of an architect unwavering in his convictions. If you're stirred by the thought of an individual standing against a current of conformity, this story will not just speak to you, but roar. It's a tale that empowers the idea of personal integrity and creative freedom—themes that resonate deeply in today's society.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Architect Howard Roark is as unyielding as the granite he blasts to build with. Defying the conventions of the worlds around him, he embraces a battle over two decades against a double-dealing crew of rivals who will stop at nothing to bring him down. Among them, perhaps the most troublesome of all is the ambitious Dominique Francon, who may just prove to be Roark's equal. This epic story of money, power and a man's struggle to succeed on his own terms is a paean to individualism and humanity's creative potential. First published in 1943, The Fountainhead introduced millions to Rand's philosophy of Objectivism: an uncompromising defense of self-interest as the engine of progress.
