The hero with a thousand faces

Summary: Since its release in 1949, this book has influenced millions of readers by combining the insights of modern psychology with Joseph Campbell's revolutionary understanding of comparative mythology. In these pages, Campbell outlines the Hero's Journey, a universal motif of adventure and transformation that runs through virtually all of the world's mythic traditions. He also explores the Cosmogonic Cycle, the mythic pattern of world creation and destruction. This third edition features expanded illustrations, a comprehensive bibliography, and more accessible sidebars.
