The Power of Myth.
New York, NY: Doubleday, 1988. First Paperback Edition. Softcover. Quarto. xx + 238pp. Color plates & b/w illustrations. Index. A paperback reprint of this summation of Campbell's lifelong work on the subject of myth. "Based on a six-part PBS television series hosted by Bill Moyers, this classic is especially compelling because of its engaging question-and-answer format, creating an easy, conversational approach to complicated and esoteric topics. For example, when discussing the mythology of heroes, Campbell and Moyers smoothly segue from the Sumerian sky goddess Inanna to Star Wars' mercenary-turned-hero, Han Solo. Most impressive is Campbell's encyclopedic knowledge of myths, demonstrated in his ability to recall the details and archetypes of almost any story, from any point and history, and translate it into a lesson for spiritual living in the here and now." Covers lightly rubbed, edges lightly chafed, otherwise a tight, clean VG+ copy. Oversized book - may require additional shipping. Item #50974
