Architect Howard Roark is as unyielding as the granite he blasts to build with. Defying the conventions of the world 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. These include, perhaps most troublesome of all, the ambitious Dominique Francon, who may just prove to be Roarke\'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 defence of self-interest as the engine of progress, and a jubilant celebration of man\'s creative potential.
