Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisThe 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.

  • Great book.

    Ayn Rand stresses individuality in this book. It is fresh way to look at not doing things the way others do things and the pressure to"conform".

  • The print is too small

    Content is fine, just the letters are too small in this particular paperback.

  • Fountainhead by Ann Rand

    maybe if millennials would read this they would understand what it means to be an independent thinking citizen. Rand came from Russia and never wanted to see America become Socialist ! She would be disgusted but what the Dems have done to our country.
