Summary: From case cover: Throughout time, mankind has chased after the dream of immortality. The Phoenix, in the form of a bird of fire, is said to hold the key to eternal life. Great warriors, greedy princesses, ambitious scientists and ordinary people desire its power. Great wars are fought in a vain attempt to possess it and, as a result, civilizations rise and fall. PHOENIX is a collection of five fables from the past, present and future. Many will perish because of their desires, and they are the lucky ones. True pain comes for those who find immortality and experience the burden of living forever. Osamu Tezuka, named the "God of Manga", is indisputably the father of all modern Japanese comics and animation. His artistry and powerful storytelling bring wonder and inspiration to audiences all over the world. This is the epic of "The Phoenix", Tezuka's story of an immortal bird that brings hope with despair, love with hate, and life with death. It is a love poem to the circle of birth, maturity, death and renewal that touches people from all around the Earth, all throughout throughout time.
