The Swan Thieves
Elizabeth Kostova

“Kostova’s theme is creative obsession and what everyday boundaries can be broken in its name; the novel seems to favor the most romantic answer… lush prose and abundant drama…”—Kirkus

Film rights to THE SWAN THIEVES were sold to Sony in a blockbuster deal, to the same producing team who launched Memoirs of a Geisha.

An instant New York Times bestseller, THE SWAN THIEVES is a sweeping novel of historical intrigue spanning centuries and continents, with a beautiful woman, a mysterious painting, and an ancient secret at its heart—from the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Historian.

Psychiatrist Andrew Marlowe has a perfectly ordered life—solitary, perhaps, but full of devotion to his profession and the painting hobby he loves. This order is destroyed when renowned painter Robert Oliver attacks a canvas in the National Gallery of Art and becomes his patient. In response, Marlowe finds himself going beyond his own legal and ethical boundaries to understand the secret that torments this genius, a journey that will lead him into the lives of the women closest to Robert Oliver and toward a tragedy at the heart of French Impressionism. Ranging from American museums to the coast of Normandy, from the late nineteenth century to the late twentieth, from young love to last love, THE SWAN THIEVES is a story of obsession, the losses of history, and the power of art to preserve human hope.

***UPDATE! March 3rd, 2010***

Tim Burton set to produce ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER

Tim Burton and “Wanted” director Timur Bekmambetov are teaming to bring the Seth Grahame-Smith novel “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” to the big screen.

The book was released today by Grand Central Publishing.

Burton and Bekmambetov will produce the adaptation with Jim Lemley. The trio first collaborated to produce the animated fantasy “9″ with Focus Features released last fall.
