The Fountainhead has become an enduring piece of literature, more popular now than when published in 1943. On the surface, it is a story of one man, Howard Roark, and his struggles as an architect in the face of a successful rival, Peter Keating, and a newspaper columnist, Ellsworth Toohey. But the book addresses a number of universal themes: the strength of the individual, the tug between good and evil, the threat of fascism. The confrontation of those themes, along with the amazing stroke of Rand's writing, combine to give this book its enduring influence.
安·兰德(1905-1982),俄裔美国作家、哲学家。青年时代从苏联流亡美国,以其小说和哲学闻名于世。小说《源泉》1943年出版后立即成为畅销书,并为她赢得了巨大的声誉,该书至今仍以每年超过10万册的数量再版。1957年《耸肩的阿特拉斯神》出版,成为美国历史上仅次于《圣经》的超级畅销书,被誉为对美国影响最大的10本之一,累计销售超过8000万册。
安·兰德崇理性,认为人的最高美德便是理性;她不顾传统舆论的偏见,力倡个人主义,认为不能使个人利益得到最大伸张的社会,就不是理想社会。她的客观主义哲学处20世纪50年代起风靡美国校园,影响了几代美国人,她本人也成为美国青年崇拜的偶像。安·兰德一生著述百余种,根据她的生平拍摄的记录片和故事片曾获奥斯卡奖。1982年安·兰德去世后,美国创立了许多兰德书友会和专门研究安·兰德思想的机构。
"我所一贯追求的,正是向这些为数不多的人致意.其余的人与我无关:他们要背叛的不是我,也不是《源泉》.他们要背叛的是自己的灵魂." ————安.兰德,摘自《源泉》25周年再版序言 毫无疑问,我是那些"其余的人",是那些与安.兰德无关的人;或者,我也不属于那类人,因为...
评分 评分 评分还有一百来页没看... 沉不下去了... 要把它看完也需要强大的精神力量,算是一项壮举.... 作为一个典型的Keating,字里行间都被批判,压力实在很大 ... // From 伊夜
评分Twice I tried seriously starting this book, and never got thru the first 30 pages. I used to think I was too stupid for it, but now I know life is simply too short for some bland, narrow-minded, and vicious books, the Fountainhead for one.
