The Fountainhead

Author: Ayn Rand

“The Fountainhead” by Ayn Rand is a compelling exploration of individualism and integrity. Following the journey of Howard Roark, an innovative architect who refuses to conform to traditional standards, the novel delves into the struggles and triumphs of staying true to one’s vision. I found myself deeply moved by Roark’s unwavering commitment to his ideals, even when faced with overwhelming opposition. Rand’s rich character development and philosophical insights make this a thought-provoking read that lingers long after the final page.

To say 'I love you' one must first be able to say the 'I.'
