Product Detail
A few morsels of this feast can be found in the following tidbits: for example, readers may be surprised to discover that Campbell considered his half-mile track races in college to be the "peak" experiences of his life. (Campbell was an esteemed track star at Columbia University in the mid-1920s.) Or that it was the famous Paris-dweller and bookseller Sylvia Beach who helped Campbell understand the meaning behind Ulysses in 1928 and was influential in steering Campbell into the realm of mythology and heroes. Or that Campbell believed that his uncanny ability to relate myths to contemporary life came from teaching female students at Sarah Lawrence. "They always wanted the material to relate to themselves, to life," he explained to interviewer Stuart Brown. "I attribute the popular aspects of my writing to the training I got from these students." Or that The Hero with a Thousand Faces inspired numerous artists, including George Lucas of Star Wars fame and Richard Adams, author of Watership Down.
This is also a generously illustrated book, with numerous photos of Campbell, many of which are shown in their authentic sepia tones. Numerous full-color images of famous artwork and images speak to each mythological theme in the book, such as the "Death of Socrates" (Jacques Louis David, 1787) and the painting of "Sacred and Profane" (Titan, circa 1514). --Gail Hudson Author: Joseph CampbellBinding: PaperbackBrand: Brand: New World LibraryEAN: 9781608681891Edition: ReprintFeature: Used Book in Good ConditionISBN: 1608681890Label: New World LibraryManufacturer: New World LibraryNumberOfItems: 1NumberOfPages: 336PackageQuantity: 1ProductGroup: BookProductTypeName: ABIS_BOOKPublicationDate: 2014-03-11Publisher: New World LibraryStudio: New World LibraryTitle: The Hero s Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work (The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell)UPC: 783324814934
