A review by thecrookedspine
The Hero With a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell

5.0

This book is full of a frequently startling intelligence, passionate engagement with the topic, and a delightfully broad overview of the mythologies of a wide variety of cultures. While it could be said to be true that the masculine human experience is emphasized, on another level the points in this book feel beyond gendering and engaged with the deeper common core of the human experience. This book works exceptionally well alongside certain others, such as Man & His Symbols and Women Who Run With the Wolves. I highly recommend and will personally be reading other works by Campbell off the strength of this book.
