Book Synopsis



Howard Roark es un arquitecto joven y osado.

Es individualista, inconforme, y está dispuesto a enfrentarse al establishment de la vieja profesión, los arquitectos que prefieren la resignación a la integridad, que rechazan las innovaciones y cuya única ambición es rendirse al gusto de las masas.

No le resultará fácil. Sólo su granítica entereza le permitirá salir adelante y encarar los deseos de los demás personajes que pueblan una trama tan original narrativamente como profunda filosóficamente: un arquitecto sin vocación que quiere ascender socialmente complaciendo y sometiéndose a otros; una hermosa amante que no cree en el triunfo de la rebeldía; un poderoso editor de periódicos que sabe que su éxito depende del favor del público; y un socialista que dice encarnar los deseos del pueblo y pretende dominar el mundo e imponerle una ética bondadosa. En última instancia, deberá hacer frente a una sociedad que desprecia a los grandes creadores porque no encajan en sus esquemas estrechos y necios.

Obra cumbre de la gran defensora de la razón y de la libertad individual frente a los excesos del Estado y su mentalidad autoritaria, en ella, Rand expone cómo el declive de la competencia entre las grandes empresas, la desmoralización entre quienes deberían liderar la actividad económica y creativa y la inercia del ciudadano común conducen a la pobreza moral y material.

Con esta novela, que desde su publicación en 1943 ha vendido millones de ejemplares en todo el mundo e inspirado a varias generaciones de lectores que han encontrado en ella una defensa del egoísmo racional, la creatividad y la rebeldía, Ayn Rand se convirtió en una de las escritoras claves del mundo contemporáneo.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The revolutionary literary vision that sowed the seeds of Objectivism, Ayn Rand's groundbreaking philosophy, and brought her immediate worldwide acclaim.

This modern classic is the story of intransigent young architect Howard Roark, whose integrity was as unyielding as granite...of Dominique Francon, the exquisitely beautiful woman who loved Roark passionately, but married his worst enemy...and of the fanatic denunciation unleashed by an enraged society against a great creator. As fresh today as it was then, Rand's provocative novel presents one of the most challenging ideas in all of fiction--that man's ego is the fountainhead of human progress...

"A writer of great power. She has a subtle and ingenious mind and the capacity of writing brilliantly, beautifully, bitterly...This is the only novel of ideas written by an American woman that I can recall."--The New York Times
