A man way ahead of his time, Frank Lloyd Wright is widely regarded as America's greatest 20th-century architect. Although Wright died in 1959, he continues to influence architects and designers today. Discover some of his most iconic works--Fallingwater, the Guggenheim, the Robie House--with the spectacular Frank Lloyd Wright Pop-Up. Apart from making a pilgrimage to one of Wright's landmarks, this innovative book offers the ultimate Frank Lloyd Wright experience! Explore Wright's world in 3-D with five pop-ups that show his greatest masterpieces. Each pop-up focuses on a particular work and is accompanied by a detailed history of its planning, design, and current state. Thoughtful text uncovers the social, economic, and cultural influences that shaped Wright's art, while extensive photographs, plans, and drawings illustrate how each project evolved. Visit the iconic and inspirational Fallingwater, Wright's residential masterpiece, and see how the building epitomizes his theme of harmony with nature. Sitting atop a waterfall, the house appears to grow organically from the site, as if it has always been there. You'll be impressed with the remarkably modern Robie House, regarded as one of the most significant examples of 20th-century architecture. Designed in the Prairie style, the home follows Wright's concept that "the horizontal line is the line of domesticity." Explore other influential Wright works, including the Ennis House, considered to be years ahead of its time, and one of New York City's most beloved landmarks, the Guggenheim Museum. Frank Lloyd Wright is still profoundly influential and continues to generate interest and excitement among a wide audience.

I have been standing on the side of life, watching it float by. I want to swim in the river. I want to feel the current. So writes Mamah Borthwick Cheney in her diary as she struggles to justify her clandestine love affair with Frank Lloyd Wright. Four years earlier, in 1903, Mamah and her husband, Edwin, had commissioned the renowned architect to design a new home for them. During the construction of the house, a powerful attraction developed between Mamah and Frank, and in time the lovers, each married with children, embarked on a course that would shock Chicago society and forever change their lives. In this ambitious debut novel, fact and fiction blend together brilliantly. While scholars have largely relegated Mamah to a footnote in the life of America’s greatest architect, author Nancy Horan gives full weight to their dramatic love story and illuminates Cheney’s profound influence on Wright. Drawing on years of research, Horan weaves little-known facts into a compelling narrative, vividly portraying the conflicts and struggles of a woman forced to choose between the roles of mother, wife, lover, and intellectual. Horan’s Mamah is a woman seeking to find her own place, her own creative calling in the world. Mamah’s is an unforgettable journey marked by choices that reshape her notions of love and responsibility, leading inexorably ultimately lead to this novel’s stunning conclusion. Elegantly written and remarkably rich in detail, Loving Frank is a fitting tribute to a courageous woman, a national icon, and their timeless love story. BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Nancy Horan's Under the Wide and Starry Sky. Advance praise for Loving Frank: “Loving Frank is one of those novels that takes over your life. It’s mesmerizing and fascinating–filled with complex characters, deep passions, tactile descriptions of astonishing architecture, and the colorful immediacy of daily life a hundred years ago–all gathered into a story that unfolds with riveting urgency.” –Lauren Belfer, author of City of Light “This graceful, assured first novel tells the remarkable story of the long-lived affair between Frank Lloyd Wright, a passionate and impossible figure, and Mamah Cheney, a married woman whom Wright beguiled and led beyond the restraint of convention. It is engrossing, provocative reading.” ——Scott Turow “It takes great courage to write a novel about historical people, and in particular to give voice to someone as mythic as Frank Lloyd Wright. This beautifully written novel about Mamah Cheney and Frank Lloyd Wright’s love affair is vivid and intelligent, unsentimental and compassionate.” ——Jane Hamilton “I admire this novel, adore this novel, for so many reasons: The intelligence and lyricism of the prose. The attention to period detail. The epic proportions of this most fascinating love story. Mamah Cheney has been in my head and heart and soul since reading this book; I doubt she’ ll ever leave.” –Elizabeth Berg
