Originally published in 1949  the book hit the New York Times best-seller list in 1988 when it became the subject of The Power of Myth  a PBS television special.  The first popular work to combine the spiritual and psychological insights of modern psychoanalysis with the archetypes of world mythology  the book creates a roadmap for navigating the frustrating path of contemporary life. Examining heroic myths in the light of modern psychology  it considers not only the patterns and stages of mythology but also its relevance to our lives today--and to the life of any person seeking a fully realized existence.  Myth  according to Campbell  is the projection of a cultures dreams onto a large screen; Campbells book  like Star Wars  the film it helped inspire  is an exploration of the big-picture moments from the stage that is our world. It is a must-have resource for both experienced students of mythology and the explorer just beginning to approach myth as a source of knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44983655137333,"sku":"ByrdShop_0691017840","price":27.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-hero-with-a-thousand-faces-bollingen-series-general","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
