While the underlying theme in this novel is philosophical, it is also entertaining and most of the characters are somewhat complex, making it fun to read. If you choose to listen to it on Audible the version I listened to had Christopher Hurt as the narrator. Due to the quality of the narration and the fact that it is a novel, where much of it consists of dialog it really lends itself to the audio book format. There is nothing in this book not to like and while it is a substantial investment in terms of the time to read it (752 pages), you will not be disappointed. Recommendation:Īs you can probably tell I loved it.
A man of virtue, dedicated to his work, and idealistic. As I mentioned the key character Howard Roark is what the author would call the ideal man. Ayn Rand does an incredible job of creating compelling characters with all their virtues and flaws. The narration is incredible as the narrator changes their voice for various characters, making it much easier to listen to. If you have Audible beware that this is a very long book and is over 32 hours. I won’t give away the details of the plot or how it ends, but I can guarantee you will enjoy reading or listening to this book. innovative when referring to the central theme of architecture. evil plot being played out, or you might look at it as conventional vs. Like all of Ayn Rand’s novels there is this good vs.
As with Atlas Shrugged this novel pits the individualist (capitalist) against those that feel there is little meaning to life and everything should be shared (socialist). Howard is the focal point of the book for his individualist character and the love he possesses for his work. There are several key characters in this novel, but the most notable is Howard Roark who is an architect. More recently I have both books available on Audible. I have read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged another Ayn Rand novel several times. The Fountainhead was written in 1943 by Ayn Rand who has to be one of my top 5 authors.
