The Fountainhead (Collector's Edition) Author: Ayn Rand Publisher: Chongqing Publishing House

"The Fountainhead" is one of Ayn Rand's most famous novels. By describing the tortuous experiences of the talented architect Locke in school, company and society, it creates the image of a young man who persists in his ideals and dares to create.

Locke was expelled from college on the eve of graduation because of his unique ideas. His design style was not understood, and he once fell into working as a laborer in a quarry. The woman he loved deeply also married his old enemy. Finally, he fought alone in court under various circumstances to defend his creative behavior as a genius. In the face of interference from the principal, peers, customers and critics, Locke always had the courage to stick to himself, live without relying on the opinions of others, and always do what he wants to do, just as he said in his final speech defending himself: There is no other standard to measure personal dignity except independence.

The Fountainhead is a recognition of youthful ambition, and it celebrates the glory of humanity and shows how great human possibilities are. The book was first published in 1943 and has been a bestseller ever since its publication, becoming a spiritual book that has influenced generations of young people.
