Description

Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers offer a brilliant combination of wisdom and wit in conversations that range from modern marriage to virgin births, from saviors to heroes in The Power of Myth--a great summing up of Campbell's works. Campbell's work combines scholarship, Jungian depth psychology, and inspirational writing, and remains an immensely popular introduction. His approach reflects the continuing relevance of mythological symbols even in our secular, mythless age. Ideal for the college market and general reader alike, this extraordinary best-seller is a brilliant evocation of the noted scholar's teachings on mythology.

 

Review:

"The symbols of mythology and legend are all around  us, embedded in the fabric of our daily lives, and  the Moyers-Campbell dialogues are a welcome guide  to recognizing and understanding their meanings."  -- Cincinnati Post.
