À propos de cet audio

 One of the 20th century's most challenging novels of ideas, The Fountainhead champions the cause of individualism through the story of a gifted young architect who defies the tyranny of conventional public opinion. The struggle for personal integrity in a world that values conformity above creativity is powerfully illustrated through three characters: Howard Roarke, the genius who is resented because he creates purely for the delight of his own work and on no other terms; Gail Wynand, the newspaper mogul and self-made millionaire whose power was bought by sacrificing his ideals to the lowest common denominator of public taste; and Dominique Francon, the devastating beauty whose desperate search for meaning has been twisted, through despair, into a quest to destroy the single object of her desire: Howard Roarke. Dramatic, poetic, and demanding, The Fountainhead remains one of the towering books on the contemporary intellectual scene.©1943 The Bobbs-Merrill Company; 1968 Ayn Rand; 1993 Leonard Peikoff (P)1994 Blackstone Audio Inc.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Ayn Rand is a writer of great power. She has a subtle and ingenious mind and the capacity of writing brilliantly, beautifully, bitterly." ( New York Times Book Review)

Ayn Rand at her triumphant best, particularly poignant in the face of the woke oppression of our day...

I find Ayn Rand's views on individual rights so refreshing in contrast with our modern society where everyone is told what to accept and what to say. I loved both The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged in equal measure and I didn't find them long or boring at any point. A lot of people either didn't understand a word and decided to quit after 10 pages or felt like their personal beliefs were being attacked and decided to rage against the book rather than understanding the (superior) point the author is trying to make. I wish there was a place in this world where everyone is guided by common sense and their individual beliefs are respected. I'm tired of this social media pressure where every random individual with no credentials or accomplishments feels compelled to send a strong message and fights hard (read screams really loud) to get everyone else to agree with it.
It pains me to see it has the same rating as garbage books like Signs of Cupidity for example.

Exceptional

I really liked this story, it was quite long but worth to understand the meaning behind the characters. Once in a while the voice actor however mix character tones but it was still manageable to connect who was speaking.

longest story ever, but worth it

I listened to Fountainhead with my wife on a road trip and got her hooked. Amazing book. Very thought provoking. We often stopped the book, discussed situations, rewinded, listen again and talked some more. Beautiful writing style, amazing storyline. My kids are now reading Ayn Rand too and I just finshed my 5th book of her. She analysed and wrote about our current social and economic problems over 70 years ago. One of a kind.
Ayn Rand is in a class of herself.

This book is something of a thought experiment, harnessing the essence of fictional storytelling. The characters are hyper idealized, each perfect in their own way. The author has expertly used this foundation of impossible flawlessness to toy with how a society would react to such people if they were to exist.

It’s important to note that throughout the story, these characters never change their tune to appease broader culture. Instead, the world is gradually moulded around the characters, a scenario that can only take place in fiction. It does this to great affect, pinpointing the shortcomings of human behaviour with undeniable accuracy.

It’s the story of an underdog, but it never presents itself as such. It’s unorthodox in it’s illustration of a world unravelling in the face of greatness as opposed to the other way around. This book outlines and indeed challenges our broader inclination to vilify inhumanly high standards. It picks apart conformity as the product of an insecure society. Dissecting our instinct to consider things “too good to be true“ as nothing more than a defence mechanism.

Nature is hostile towards perfection, but that does not mean we shouldn’t strive towards it.

Too good to be true, by design
