Jacket is price-clipped. 636 pages with Bibliography, Notes, and Index. From the jacket: "Joseph Campbell ( 1904-1987) forged an approach to the study of myth and legend that made ancient traditions and beliefs immediate, relevant, and universal. His teachings and literary works have shown that beneath the apparent themes of world mythology lie patterns that reveal the ways in which we may all encounter the great mysteries of existence: birth, growth, development of the soul, and death. This book explores his personal life, which shaped and formed his ideas and work." View More...
