Editorial Review:

Product Description:
A special edition hardcover in celebration of Ayn Rand’s centennial.

When it was first published in 1943, The Fountainhead--containing Ayn Rand’s daringly original literary vision with the seeds of her groundbreaking philosophy, Objectivism—won immediate worldwide acclaim. This instant classic is the story of an intransigent young architect, his violent battle against conventional standards, and his explosive love affair with a beautiful woman who struggles to defeat him. This centennial edition of The Fountainhead, celebrating the controversial and eduring legacy of its author, features an afterword by Rand’s literary executor, Leonard Peikoff, offering some of Ayn Rand’s personal notes on the development of her masterwork.

Amazon.com Review:
The Fountainhead has become an enduring piece of literature, more popular now than when published in 1943. On the surface, it is a story of one man, Howard Roark, and his struggles as an architect in the face of a successful rival, Peter Keating, and a newspaper columnist, Ellsworth Toohey. But the book addresses a number of universal themes: the strength of the individual, the tug between good and evil, the threat of fascism. The confrontation of those themes, along with the amazing stroke of Rand's writing, combine to give this book its enduring influence.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating:

- Philosophically untenable
Ayn Rand's talent as a writer is manifest primarily in her characterizations, and her ability to write dialogue. She is also a master of analogy, though it is an over employed technique.

Although my familiarity with her philosophy is limited to The Fountainhead, it certainly is capsulized in Howard Roark's summation to the jury at the close of the book. Rand's celebration of the self (egotism in her words) at the expense of the collective (second-handers in her terminology) seems ... Read More

- Read and learn!
A collegue gave me this book a couple of years ago. The book was catching the karakters as discribes by Ayn Rand are an inspiration. Ever since reading the book for the firts time I give this book to people around me and everybody loves it.

Rating:

- Poorly written, even for failed philosophy
Ok, to start off lets forget all about the B.S Philosophy of Ayn Rand and focus purely on the writing content of the story itself.

I give it one star, simply for the character development which seems to follow her philosophy fairly well. She seems to have developed the Protagonist and the antagonist very well, though it seems she did this by accident if only to fill her philosophical ideals. It's apparent because the supporting characters seem shallow and their interactions in no way resemble ... Read More

- Nice introduction to Rand's views
This is a nice introduction to Rand's views I think for those who don't have the will to finish the significantly larger work of hers... Atlas Shrugged. It seems long enough that people should be able to fairly easily gain an understanding of what she's about, although I really think that if possible people should probably go for Atlas Shrugged first.

Both are certainly classics and should be read by anyone seeking a greater understanding of life, philosophy, and politics. I highly recommend ... Read More

- Worth of money.
I bought a used book in good condition. This book arrived very fast and of course was in a better condition than my expectation. I am happy with my current purchase and would like to continue in future.
