The answers to these questions become clear when the reason behind the baffling events that play havoc with the lives of the amazing men and women in this remarkable...

The Fountainhead has become an enduring piece of literature, more popular now than when published in 1943. On the surface, it is a story of one man, Howard Roark, and his struggles as an architect in the face of a successful rival, Peter Keating, and a newspaper columnist, Ellsworth Toohey. But the book addresses a number of universal themes: the strength of the individual, the tug between good and evil, the threat of fascism. The confrontation of...

This collection of essays was the last work planned by Ayn Rand before her death in 1982. In it, she summarizes her view of philosophy and deals with a broad spectrum of topics.

The provocative title of Ayn Rand's The Virtue of Selfishness introduces an equally provocative thesis about ethics.

Rather than permit the construction of a dreatically altered housing project he designed, he blasts the sitet to kingdom come. And brought to trial he accepts no defense but his own. The Fountainhead is towering tribute to everyone willing to stand by what's right, no matter what the cost.

In this adaptation, award-winning artist Dan Parsons teams up with Jennifer Grossman of The Atlas Society to introduce the story to a new generation with a provocative, graphic presentation that captures the imagination and invites readers on a journey...
