false <![CDATA[The Fountain]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174397227m/391413.jpg 391413 4 What if you could live forever? <i>The Fountain</i> is an odyssey about a man's thousand-year struggle to save the woman he loves. In three separate lives—Tomas the conquistador, Tommy the scientist, and Tom the explorer—Thomas is driven to discover the mysteries of life; all three stories converge into one truth as he comes to terms with life, death, love, and rebirth. The book is an extension of Aronofsky's cinematic vision, and will contain production stills of the film's stars Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz, original script, original art, and observations from creators Ari Handel and Darren Aronofsky. Edited by Darren Aronofsky, <i>The Fountain</i> is not so much a tie-in or a behind-the-scenes look at the film, but rather a thoughtful meditation on the film's provocative themes of life and death and its singular visuals. 381020 2005 The Fountain total:239|5:91|4:88|3:41|2:17|1:2| 239 966 342 31 5 0 false false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 04:35:35 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 04:43:10 -0700 2009
