Book Reviews of The Fountainhead (Centennial Edition Hardcover)
Book Review: An obvious shot at any ploitical policy of cooperation.
Summary: 4 Stars
The Fountainhead, in true Ayn Rand style, mocks the notion of collective thought and cooperative action. Using the principle, opposing in character architects, Keating and Roark, Rand illustrates her philosophy of individualism as god and collective thought as the downfall of man. It is well written, twisting the lives of several dynamic characters together in one man's final struggle for the freedom he desires. Roark is an architect, not because he enjoys money, not because he wishes to bring joy to his customers, but rather because he creates buildings that need to live. Keating, on the other hand is an architect for the prestige, borrowing every bit of any building he designs from past greats. This story, much like her 1984-ish Anthem, shows the struggle between the id and the super-ego. Overall, this book is worth reading- whether one is a capitilist or a socialist.
