A review by gzofian
The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell

4.0

I wanted to give this five stars, but I found it a little opaque. As someone else has said here, I feel inadequate to the task. It is an avant-garde work of genius, and I learned lots of new words as well as absorbing some of the the profundities of human existence. I did lose the threads of argument quite often and found that there were leaps of ideas that I just could not follow. There were enough, however, that I was able to follow to make me want to read more Campbell and to continue the exploration of meaning he navigates.
