Hiee Guys..well frankly I m not the typical guy who is into much reading of novels..but then a collegue of mine in my work place is very fond of reading novels so one day he brings this book called FOUNTAIN HEAD by AYN RAND...well I still remember the title and the author because I really liked this book..it was amazing and fabulous..it was fantastic...i actually see the whole picture still fresh in my mind the wild creativity of the architect who I sees human life forms in the buildings....what a fabulous description of the characters and the style of writing ..its a book of about 680 - 700 pages...but what an amazing way of description...i really loved it..

Well the story is about the architects with an amazing vision about the structures of iron and mortar...the character description is as follows....

His way of getting pleasure in life is to try and ruin any man who tries to stand in his way.he is a man who can do anything to be on the top..he can kill,steal.and has his own way of working things for him..by hook or crook..he surely gets it.....

He choses a more lucrative line of work as an architect since his mother feels that being a painter is no kind of occupation for her son.and so by hook or crook he becomes the partner of a wealthy person by marrying his daughter,but still he was not satisfied whith himself.

Ellsworth Toohey:-

This particular character is a excellent one because here comes the entry of the crook or the bad guy(VILLIAN) who is a character who tries to shatter things and make situation bad for Howard Rook. A critic with the ability toconquer peoples mind with his ability to convince people to believe what ever he says is true and imact mens thoughts, realises early in life that he possesses the capability to understand people and can use this in order to subtly use them for achieving his means. He believes in the philosophy of unity as opposed to individualism. He has always tried to destroy every person who tries to stand as a barrier in his way. He can change public opinion in such a way that they can no longer will be able to figure out what is good and what is bad. His only aim in life is to rule the world by using the power of the masses which will make him the master of all.....what a character and a way of psychological way to conquer peoples mind.....

Howard Roark:-

This is an Important character in this book which is soo good and the way his thinking and looking towards life..he is marvelous..the way he sees a building and he actually creates life in the building. he has his own unique idea about buildings.A man of few words and great wisdom..with life full of hardships and struggle..a man of high moral.A true genius as far as architecture is concerned, A man among men who actually adores and worshipps his work, deeply and intensely, he believes that his work is his and only his and will let no other man influence his work or try to either modify or change it. He creates for himself and what ever he creates ,the people have to accept it unconditionally and they have no choice or else they have to look for other options. He is a man of great integrity who never gives up in life no matter how much hardship he has to face. The true man in its own sense and which many of us really want to become in life but unfortunately very very few of us actually reach this height and achieve in life.Well many of us would be inspired by him.

Dominique Cork:-

A female who loves Howard and howard to loves.a true feminine character....she is a female of choice,taste and she is that type of female who can sacrifice herself for the person whome she adores .but then a very passionate woman awho has her own rules and regulations set for herself...She believes in Howard and really knows the taste fo howard...she plays a major part for Howard in this book.....

The whole book is about the struggle of this one man against the rest of the world and how in the end he wins against all odds.How he succeeds in putting his views and opinions na dhow he makes others to approve his ideas.Fountainhead tries to redefine the concept of selfishness and makes it virtuous and realistic.

This book contains some sort of philosophy about life and people and reveals the way of how people think and act ,its aboutinner most thoughts of people who are self centerd amd with lots of hatred for the other person.I personally Believe that this books might really have influenced millions of people all over the world and it might surely have changed many lives across the globe.............This book throws light on the struggle of one simpe man with the society in which he lives and which tries to destroy the spirit of the man who would not accept defeat in any form in his life.

The way the author has described is absolutely creative,amazing,brilliand ,superb ,fantastic...its a combination of thought,ideas,reality,egotism,and the way its portrayed that you actually feel yourself standing at the scene and u can actually feel as if this things ar in real..they exist in friont of you..the way the building structures are described as if they have life...the words ,phrases used in this narration are superb..it brings non living things to life.....

I surely can tell all u people one thing hat by chance if you get hand on this book ,u surely read is and I m sure that all u will love it......
