The Fountainhead description
The Fountainhead has become an enduring piece of literature, more popular now than when published in 1943. On the surface, it is a story of one man, Howard Roark, and his struggles as an architect in the face of a successful rival, Peter Keating, and a newspaper columnist, Ellsworth Toohey. But the book addresses a number of universal themes: the strength of the individual, the tug between good and evil, the threat of fascism. The confrontation of those themes, along with the amazing stroke of Rand's writing, combine to give this book its enduring influence. |

The Fountainhead
|
| The Fountainhead is an epic story between good and evil. It details the life of the unrecognized genius of protagonist Howard Roark and his struggle against the cunning and evil Ellsworth Toohey. Howard Roark is an unconventional and creative architect whose style is not commonly accepted among the masses. The book eloquently recounts his battle to make people see beyond the materialistic opinions of others and think for themselves. Ayn Rand truly highlights her controversial philosophy in a way that truly envelopes you in her world. However, this book is not just a philosophical revelation. It also recounts the turbulent relationship between him and Dominique, a beautiful yet violent daughter of one the most successful architects in New York City. This book has captured one of the most twisted and exciting love triangles of all time. Though heavy and slow - going at times I truly enjoyed The Fountainhead. It has achieved its ultimate purpose - to change the way I think about the world and the purpose of my life. I would recommend this book to nearly everybody. For if you cannot extract life long lessons from this novel, you will at least walk away with the ultimate story of evil, romance, and the triumph of the human will. |
