The fountainhead (New Amer Library)

A special edition hardcover in celebration of Ayn Rand's centennial. When it was first published in 1943, "The Fountainhead"--containing Ayn Rand's daringly original literary vision with the seeds of her groundbreaking philosophy, Objectivism?won immediate worldwide 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 centennial edition of "The Fountainhead," celebrating the controversial and eduring legacy of its author, features an afterword by Rand's literary executor, Leonard Peikoff, offering some of Ayn Rand's personal notes on the development of her masterwork.?A writer of great power.

She has a subtle and ingenious mind and the capacity of writing brilliantly, beautifully, bitterly.?--"The New York Times"
