'The Fountainhead' is one of the greatest books of its time. In it you will meet, head-on, the brilliant young architect Howard Roark. You will witness the beauty, desirability and dangerous ambition of Dominique Francon. You will reel, stunned, like the millions of other readers who have assured this book a place in the century's history, at the meeting, and mating of these two most powerful creatures in modern America. 'The Fountainhead' is about ambition, power, gold and love ? a love so firm that it triumphed over slander, separation, jealousy, and the cruel assaults of those who sought to destroy it.

L'autore:

Ayn Rand is the founder and guiding light of Objectivism, a philosophy devoted to enlightened self-interest. The colophon of the philosophy is the dollar sign; the pirincipal text, ‘For the New Intellectual’. Miss Rand has moulded from the molten core of this philosophy two burnished masterworks: ‘Atlas Shrugged’ and ‘The Fountainhead’.
