The Fountainhead
(1943), of primarily known Russian-American writer Ayn Rand, originally Alisa Rosenbaum, espouse the doctrines of objectivism and political libertarianism.
Fiction of this better author and philosopher developed a system that she named. Educated, she moved to the United States in 1926. After two early initially duds and two Broadway plays, Rand achieved fame. In 1957, she published Atlas Shrugged , her best-selling work.
Rand advocated reason and rejected faith and religion. She supported rational and ethical egoism as opposed to altruism. She condemned the immoral initiation of force and supported laissez-faire capitalism, which she defined as the system, based on recognizing individual rights, including private property. Often associated with the modern movement in the United States, Rand opposed and viewed anarchism. In art, she promoted romantic realism. She sharply criticized most philosophers and their traditions with few exceptions.
Books of Rand sold more than 37 million copies. From literary critics, her fiction received mixed reviews with more negative reviews for her later work. Afterward, she turned to nonfiction to promote her philosophy, published her own periodicals, and released several collections of essays until her death in 1982.
After her death, her ideas interested academics, but philosophers generally ignored or rejected her and argued that her approach and work lack methodological rigor. She influenced some right conservatives. The movement circulates her ideas to the public and in academic settings.

Књига шитана на препоруку! Хвала особи која ми је препоручила читање ове књиге, у дигиталној верзији 1216 страна. Морам да признам да ми је почетак био монотон, и захтевао мало напора да се "похватају сви ти ликови", на моменте занимљиво, духовито, већином озбиљно филозофско штиво.
Подсећа ме на Орвелову 1984, Животињску фарму, Хакслијева дела, као и Слушкињину причу- књиге у којима читате о незамисливим апсурдима живота човека и стању у коме се човечаноство налази, питајући се- да ли је ово могуће? Да ли је ово реално оствариво?
Од друге половине текста, књига се не испушта из руку...
Искрена препорука за читањ, љубитељима добре књиге!
