This book has had an impact on me not as much for its story but for its characters. These characters are the best confrontations of our own self created ego's and needs.
In a gyst Fountain Head is the story of a man-Howard Roark- who wishes to be an architect and nothing else, he dreams, breathes and oozes the art of drawing bulidings- his work to him, is his passion, his prayer.
In the real world however, he realises its not so; there are different issues here that influence the human need, the human want...issues that change people and their principals, but Roark refuses to change or compramise his principals and is ready to accept any degree of hunger and ridicule that comes along with his choice.
As much as you wish to love this hero, u cant help but acknowledge the reality of his friend Peter Keating who is in fact the real human as is living today in this man-made, pseudo-moral society.
Fountain head entangles you as you read on, leaving a taste in the mind that craves for thinking, that craves for change...
it is recommended.
