Description: Hi! You're looking at an excellent condition book which is a classic and groundbreaking examination of the Hero's Journey in Mythology written by JOSEPH CAMPBELL--the book is a Second Edition and Twenty-Third Printing published in 1973 and a softcover copy. This book is in excellent condition and has a very small crease on the upper and lower left corners of the back cover, slight dings on the opening tips, a tiny owner's name on the center of the first page, a slight ding on the lower right tip of the back pages, some sparse pencil underlining, margin brackets and infrequent marginalia on some of the book's pages and just very light shelfwear and light evidence of gentle browsing but NO other significant flaws! The book is titled The Hero with a Thousand Faces: Bollingen Series XVII and it was written by JOSEPH CAMPBELL; it was published by Princeton University Press in 1973 and is a 2nd Edition and 23rd Printing with a publication line reading 24 26 28 30 29 27 25 23.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.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
