{"product_id":"the-hero-manhood-and-power-art-and-imagination","title":"The Hero: Manhood and Power (Art and Imagination)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn an age of equal rights and radical feminism  the intrinsically male figure of the hero - the protector  the saviour  the man of invincible might - has lost its identity and stature. The most famous names in the history and mythology of all races are those of heroes - Herakles and Samson  who fought with the lions; Lohengrin and Perseus  who rescued princesses; the Horatii  who saved Rome; the Samurai  warriors of Japan; Gagarin  conqueror of space; Zapata  defender of his people. Rightly used  the cult of the hero has led to the highest that a culture can conceive. Misused  it has led to tyranny  violence and death. This book brings the values of epic and myth to bear upon the problems of modern man  his search for identity and the justification for his masculine role. With the \"masculine backlash\" in evidence and male consciousness-raising a topic of our time  this book proposes that the hero is poised to re-enter the world of the 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44965307678773,"sku":"ByrdShop_0500810478","price":33.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780500810477.jpg?v=1770492448","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-hero-manhood-and-power-art-and-imagination","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
