The Fountainhead

When it was first published in 1943, The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand's daringly original literart vision and her groundbreaking philosophy, Objectivis, won immediate worldwide interest and acclaim. This instant classic is the against conventional standards, and his explosive love affair with a beautiful woman who struggles to defeat him.

For this fiftieth annivesary edition Rand's literary executor, Leornard Peikoff, has written a special Afterwood that includes excerpts from Ayn Rand's own notes on the making of The Fountainhead. As fresh today as it was then, here is a novel about a hero-and about those who try to destroy him.
