The Fountainhead

Yesterday I finished reading the fountain head by Ayan Rand.
I would say its quite intresting. It basically revolves around four character.
Howard Roark, Peter Keating, Ellesworth Toohey and Gail Wynand.
Ofcourse there is a heroine too. Dominique.

The Story:
It has four parts.
First part is the success of Peter.
Second part is the philosophy of Ellesworth.
Third is the history, philosophy of Gail.
And the final part is the showdown between the five charcters.

Howard remains the central theme of the whole book.
I mean he is there in every part of the book.

Book tries to explain certain philosophy by means of the above 5 charcters.
And with the help of the profession Arcitecture.

The Philosophy....
