Fountainhead

Fountainhead Fountainhead Roark and Keating Howard Roark and Peter Keating have two roles and the goals of life are similar, but the way to achieve these goals is very different. The main character of the story, Howard Rock is a man, his only passion is architecture, he wanted to be an architect since childhood. Peter Keating is an opponent of this story, which represents everything Roque hates in society, a proponent of life, regardless of the cost, or the person who needs to use it in that process. The world is leading.

In Ayn Rand's book "The Fountainhead" Howard Rock is an excellent architect who thinks this as a radicalistic view of the relationship between architectural form and structure in his current social function. And refused to include extra historically important elements - pillars of the groove, gothic arches etc - in modern townscapes. Just as art and beauty are expressed in an efficient and vivid juxtaposition of building purpose and building purpose, the city through how its building, plan and layout relate to its buildings It reflects its artistic value.

Ayn Rand's life is as colorful as the hero of her best-selling novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged. Land was named after a novelist, published by We the Living (1936), The Fountainhead (1943), and her huge Atlas shrug (1957). These philosophical novels reflect the theme of her subsequent nonfiction in the series of essays and books of the 1960s and 1970s. Rand born in St. Petersburg, Russia on 2 February 1905 was a middle-class family. When I was a child I liked talking about stories, but decided to be a writer when I was nine years old. She showed scholarly efforts at school, especially mathematics. Her family was shocked by both the revolution brought about by the Communist revolution of 1917, the subsequent civil war and social unrest, and her father's pharmacy was confiscated by the Soviets.

The next major project of Rand is The Fountainhead, which began research in 1935. The subject of our life is political, but the theme of Fountainhead is ethical focusing on the integrity of individualism and individualism. The protagonist of the novel architect Howard Rock is the first concrete example of the ideal human being of Land, he is a living person based on principle and hero. Like our lives, it is difficult for Land to publish The Fountainhead. Before Bob - Merrill was published in 1943, 12 publishers rejected it. Welcomed once more by critics and intellectuals, this novel is still the best seller, mainly through recommendations of the reviews. Fountainhead made Rand a candidate for individualism, continued sales, bringing economic stability. Warner Brothers produced a movie version of the novel starring Gary Cooper and Patricia Neil who wrote the actors for this in 1949.
