<p> One of the century’s most challenging novels of ideas <i>The Fountainhead</i> champions the cause of individualism through the story of a gifted young architect who defies the tyranny of conventional public opinion. </p><p>The struggle for personal integrity in a world that values conformity above creativity is powerfully illustrated through three characters: Howard Roarke the genius who is resented because he creates purely for the delight of his own work and on no other terms; Gail Wynand the newspaper mogul and self-made millionaire whose power was bought by sacrificing his ideals to the lowest common denominator of public taste; and Dominique Francon the devastating beauty whose desperate search for meaning has been twisted through despair into a quest to destroy the single object of her desire: Howard Roarke. </p><p>Dramatic poetic and demanding <i>The Fountainhead</i> remains one of the towering books on the contemporary intellectual scene.</p>
