The Fountainhead is a 1943 novel by Ayn Rand. It was Rands first major literary success and its royalties and movie rights brought her fame and financial security. The books title is a reference to Rands statement that mans ego is the fountainhead of human progress.

The Fountainheads protagonist, Howard Roark, is an idealistic young architect who chooses to struggle in obscurity rather than compromise his artistic and personal vision. The book follows his battle to practice modern architecture, which he believes to be superior, despite an establishment centered on tradition-worship. How others in the novel relate to Roark demonstrate Rands various archetypes of human character, all of which are variants between Roark, her ideal man of independent-mindedness and integrity, and what she described as the second-handers. The complex relationships between Roark and the various kinds of individuals who assist or hinder his progress, or both, allows the novel to be at once a romantic drama and a philosophical work.

The manuscript was rejected by twelve publishers before a young editor, Archibald Ogden, at the Bobbs-Merrill Company publishing house wired to the head office, If this is not the book for you, then I am not the editor for you. Despite generally negative early reviews from the contemporary media, the book gained a following by word of mouth and sold hundreds of thousands of copies. The Fountainhead was made into a Hollywood film in 1949, with Gary Cooper in the lead role of Howard Roark, and with a screenplay by Ayn Rand herself.
