Book Description

Summary
One of Modern Library's 100 Best English-Language Novels of the Twentieth
Century
champions the cause of individualism through the story of a gifted young
architect who defies the tyranny of conventional public opinion.
The struggle for personal integrity in a world that values conformity
above creativity is powerfully illustrated through three characters:
Howard Roarke, the genius who is resented because he creates purely
for the delight of his own work and on no other terms; Gail Wynand,
the newspaper mogul and self-made millionaire whose power was bought
by sacrificing his ideals to the lowest common denominator of public
taste; and Dominique Francon, the devastating beauty whose desperate
search for meaning has been twisted, through despair, into a quest to
destroy the single object of her desire: Howard Roarke.
Dramatic, poetic, and demanding, The Fountainhead remains one of the
towering books on the contemporary intellectual scene.
