About this product

Product Information

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

    Exactly as described easier to read than my 50+ year old copy!

    Nice crisp modern print on white paper. My 50+ year old copy had faded and the paper had yellowed. Thanks for keeping this classic alive. If you have not read this book...highly recommended if you have faith in human beings, human spirit and the ability for each of US to excel...if we are willing.

    interesting book

    I can separate this book in three even parts. First one is extremely interesting and being read in days/hours. The second one starts prolonging with some irrelevant stories and descriptions. And the last one was a torture to finish reading, super boring. To me was a great start and disappointing end.

    A terrible waste of time.

    I have found this book to be one of the most frustrating books I have ever read. I am very confused about all the hype surrounding this novel. First I must say that I did not live in the 1930's when this book was written and my understanding of life at that time is not extensive, that said, I find her characters to be quite unrealistic. I think she lacked any understanding of psychology and that leaves a lot to be desired in the motivations and actions of her characters. The book is 700 pages long and there was no need for it. 300 pages would have got the point across. Sadly the most frustrating was the constant parade of conflicting dialog from her characters, the multi analogies given to useless points and the most insane of all was the continious use of a kind of bait and switch gadget ...

    How Bad Can Bad Writing Be (quote: Sunset Blvd)

    The book’s first one tenth wasn’t too bad; at least Rand seemed to begin a coherent, linear plot, and her prose, while undistinguished, was straightforward and understandable. Unfortunately, as I got farther along, I concluded that this book (supposedly Rand’s best) is nothing but a hopeless pile sludge. The prose becomes turgid, and the dialog consists of esoteric double-edged repartee by supposedly heroic characters playing mind games with each other in a manner that reminded me of the chess move exchanges between Glenn Close and John Malkovich in Dangerous Liaisons, in which those two beauties leave a path strewn with wreckage of other characters’ lives. At least in DL, Glenn Close comes to a well deserved train-wreck end. In the Fountainhead, Rand cannot conceal Nietzschian ...

    Fountainhead - by Ayn Rand - This Is A Must Read !!

    Ayn Rand was a tremendous author. She was born in Russia and came to the United States at the beginning of the 1900's. Her insight into capitalism, into socialism, and to the world's future was startling if not out right frightening. Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged are two novels that are must reads. They are long... more than a thousand pages each. But, I urge that every adult or older child must read these books. They could be some of the most important literary works of our modern times, despite being fiction.
