About this product

Product Information

Joseph Campbell's classic cross-cultural study of the hero's journey has inspired millions and opened up new areas of research and exploration. Originally published in 1949, the book hit the New York Times best-seller list in 1988 when it became the subject of The Power of Myth , a PBS television special. The first popular work to combine the spiritual and psychological insights of modern psychoanalysis with the archetypes of world mythology, the book creates a roadmap for navigating the frustrating path of contemporary life. Examining heroic myths in the light of modern psychology, it considers not only the patterns and stages of mythology but also its relevance to our lives today--and to the life of any person seeking a fully realized existence. Myth, according to Campbell, is the projection of a culture's dreams onto a large screen; Campbell's book, like Star Wars , the film it helped inspire, is an exploration of the big-picture moments from the stage that is our world. It is a must-have resource for both experienced students of mythology and the explorer just beginning to approach myth as a source of knowledge.

Campbell's words carry extraordinary weight, not only among scholars but among a wide range of other people who find his search down mythological pathways relevant to their lives today. . . . The book for which he is most famous, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, [is] a brilliant examination, through ancient hero myths, of man's eternal struggle for identity.

Exciting, interesting, deep
A wonderful book for anyone interested in deep Psychology (Freudian but also Jungian); Comparing Religions and/or Mythology. At times dense, at times funny; Campbell talks to the reader intimately -as if they were having a delightful conversation on the subject. The end of the book is worth the waiting. A must read for those leaning toward Gnosticism.

Essential reading for the creative writer
Essential reading for writers, screenwriters, playwrights, filmmakers, photographers, artists in general; a brilliant, in depth study of mythology, but more so, an engaging, thought provocative seminal work on human nature. Not an easy read, only because of the plethora of ideas and examples Campbell uses to explain his interpretation of myth. This was my second copy, because I wore the first out. (I actually split laundry detergent on it, but it was pretty worn, and, more importantly, I panicked over the idea of not having the book in my possession.)
