The Fountainhead is Ayn Rand’s philosophical allegory illustrating
her vision of the ideal man. One of the most interesting, intriguing,
inspiring, intelligent and solid work of fiction I’ve ever read.
The beauty of the book is that the theme is not the relation between
the characters but the spirit and consciousness of the characters
themselves. Each character is analysed and presented in the most subtle
and intimate manner possible. It is a highly involving and intellectually
stirring experience to ride through the brilliant speeches, conversations
and ideologies presented in this book. I would not suggest it for readers who just want something to pass time, if you want to know why pen could more powerful than the sword, you have the proof here.
One thing is for sure, this book expresses the innermost thoughts of your
subconciousness that you have felt one time or the other but never knew
what they were. And that is the reason you will either love it or hate it.
