Sinossi
La fonte meravigliosa è uno dei romanzi più amati in America e nel mondo intero (oltre sei milioni di copie vendute). Inno alla virtù dell’individuo e all’anticonformismo, e grande storia d’amore, il romanzo, alla sua pubblicazione nel 1943, ha suscitato giudizi controversi, feroci critiche e grandi lodi, che si sono susseguiti nei decenni rendendolo, di fatto, un libro di culto e un classico senza tempo.
Ispirato alla vita del rivoluzionario architetto americano Frank Lloyd Wright, La fonte meravigliosa è la storia di Howard Roark, giovane pieno di talento disposto a rinunciare a fama e carriera pur di non dover scendere a compromessi con i suoi ideali. Uomo esemplare, integro e fedele a se stesso, Roark lotta contro i pregiudizi e le convenzioni per affermare il proprio genio artistico. Ma è anche la storia di Dominique Francon, vera e propria eroina, la donna che, pur amandolo disperatamente, farà di tutto per sfuggirgli e per distruggerlo. Sarà un amore contrastato, sofferto e impossibile che si intreccia indissolubilmente con la vita e la carriera di Roark e che ne determinerà fatalmente gli esiti.

Would you like to hear the only joke I've ever written? Q: "How many Objectivists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?" A: (Pause, then disdainfully) "Uh...one!" And thus it is that so many of us have such a complicated relationship with the work of Ayn Rand; unabashed admirers at the age of 19, un Leggi tutto
This book is the equivalent of a drunk, eloquent asshole talking to you all night at a bar. You know you should just leave and you could never explain later why you didn't, but you just sit there listening to the guy ramble on. It's all bullshit, and his arguments defending, say, his low-key but all Leggi tutto
I had not really paid much attention to Ayn Rand, darling of the conservatives (very surprisingly, actually) until I began reading her biography. When I asked around to see who had actually read any of her work, I found only a few, but lots of opinions about Rand herself. Often those comments ascri
Yes 5 stars, why? Because whenever i rethink about this book i become speechless. The lessons it taught me and the life it showed me are invaluable. So whatever you may find below are the mixed emotions which i could withdraw out of it. This books helps you realize the pain and agony of a person who s Leggi tutto
This is a very useful book. My partner and I use it as a litmus test for figuring out which of our acquaintances are driven or amused by selfishness, egotism and misogyny. Since it's also over 700 pages long and quite heavy, we occassionally use it to whack each other on the head whenever the other
As literature, I found the book dry, predictable, and overwrought. As philosophy, I found it circular, wholly unfounded, and completely contradicting reality. This book is like a net set for unsuspecting minds. It breaches their defenses with a twisted logic, attempting to preclude any conclusions bu Leggi tutto
I went over to the other side... & made it back! I will admit that I had been properly warned (Liana, others...). You read “The Fountainhead” because many other readers have, before you; its a book as popular as “One Hundred Years of Solitude.” This awful novel begins strong, climaxes early (no pun Leggi tutto
