The Fountainhead is a sometimes cumbersome, always emotional, rollercoaster ride that people need to get on today more than ever before. The Fountainhead is Ayn Rand’s epic about a traditional world and the man who challenged the very conventions of which it was comprised.

It tells the story of Peter Keating, a man who considered Roark his greatest enemy and attempted to defeat him at every turn. The Fountainhead tells the story of Roark, and of his trials and tribulations. And society has no choice but to destroy him because he’s too different. Roark refuses to compromise, refuses to bend under the will of society. But he doesn’t care for anything other than his work. ![]() He is brilliant in a time when the world is not ready for it. ![]() Howard Roark is a visionary architect in a city where individuality is unappreciated. ![]()
