The Fountainhead is a 1943 novel by Russian-American author Ayn Rand, her first major literary success.  The novel's protagonist, Howard Roark, is an individualistic young architect who designs modernist buildings and refuses to compromise with an architectural establishment unwilling to accept innovation.
