Ayn Rand’s first major work, The Fountainhead (1943), details the struggle of a genius architect against mediocrity. Her second major work, Atlas Shrugged (1957), follows a railroad executive and a steel magnate as they grapple with a collectivist government. Both The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged explicate Rand’s personal philosophy of objectivism.
