The Fountainhead
'The Fountainhead' follows the journey of Howard Roark, an innovative and fiercely individualistic architect, who refuses to conform to traditional architectural styles. As Roark battles societal norms and the expectations of a world that values conformity over creativity, he encounters friendships, rivalries, and romantic entanglements that challenge his ideals. The novel explores themes of individualism versus collectivism, the corrupting influence of society, and the pursuit of personal integrity. Ayn Rand's compelling narrative immerses readers in a philosophical debate about the nature of success and the cost of true artistry. Will Roark's unwavering commitment to his vision lead to triumph, or will it ultimately bring him to his knees?
