When "The Fountainhead" was first published, Ayn Rand's daringly
original literary vision and her groundbreaking philosphy, Objectivism,
won immediate worldwide interest and 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 edition contains a special
Afterword by Rand's literary executor, Leonard Peikoff, which includes
excerpts from Ayn Rands' 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.
