‘The Fountainhead’ by Ayn Rand

  A young man filled with convictions and a morality not upheld by the world around him.
  A young man blazing the trail of art and architecture.
  Howard Roark is a genius with architecture and he could have had a wonderful career in one of the world’s most reputable companies, except that he considers using designs from periods of the past and purely aesthetic additions to be a lie and a violation of the building itself as well as his ethics. So Roark must face the world and the man who turned it against him in a fight of integrity and truth.
  “The Fountainhead” by Ayn Rand seemed very peculiar to me at first. However, it caught me unexpectedly and pulled me in.
  I found Roark’s moral code and point of view very strange and perhaps even self-destructive, and yet I found myself hoping he would come out ahead and that his code would not only be preserved, but that it would be realized by the world.
  “The Fountainhead” would be a great addition to a diverse reading collection. It gives a unique perspective of architecture, life and the world.
