From the award-winning author of Wrestling with Moses comes a
fascinating, accessible biography of the most important architect
of the twentieth century. Modern Man is a riveting biography of Le
Corbusier-a man who invented new ways of building and thinking.
Modern Man is a penetrating psychological portrait of a true genius
and constant self-inventor, as well as a sweeping tale filled with
exotic locales, sex and celebrity (he was a lover of Josephine
Baker), and high-stakes projects. In Flint's telling, Corbusier
isn't just the grandfather of modern architecture but a man who
sought to remake the world according to his vision, dispelling the
Victorian style and replacing it with something never seen before.
His legacy remains controversial today, as the world grapples with
how to house its skyrocketing urban population and the cult of the
"starchitect" continues to grow. Modern Man is for readers
fascinated by the complex personal lives and outsized visions of
both groundbreaking artists and dazzling, charismatic innovators
like Steve Jobs.
