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.If you enjoued The Fountainhead, you might like Rand's Atlas Shrugged, also available in Penguin Modern Classics. 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. These include, perhaps most troublesome of all, the ambitious Dominique Francon, who may just prove to be Roarke's equal. 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. Her first major literary success, Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead is an exalted view of her Objectivist philosophy, portraying a visionary artist struggling against the dull, conformist dogma of his peers a book of ambition, power, gold and love, published in Penguin Modern Classics.Architect Howard Roark is as unyielding as the granite he blasts to build with.
