About This Book
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.
