  1. The hero's journey : Joseph Campbell on his life and work

    Campbell, Joseph, 1904-1987
    1st New World Library ed. - Novato, Calif. : New World Library : Distributed by Publishers Group West, 2003.

    "Joseph Campbell, arguably the greatest mythologist of our time, was certainly one of our greatest storytellers. This new cloth edition of The Hero's Journey, published to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Campbell's birth, recounts his own quest and conveys the excitement of his lifelong exploration of our mythic traditions, what he called "the one great story of mankind."" "This book interweaves conversations with Campbell and some of the people he inspired, including poet Robert Bly, anthropologist Angeles Arrien, filmmaker David Kennard, Doors' drummer John Densmore, psychiatric pioneer Stanislov Grof, Nobel laureate Roger Guillemen, and others. Behind the man who spent his life journeying through the mythologies of the world was someone whose life was a deep personal quest for his own immortal hero. Through a series of interviews, The Hero's Journey follows the footsteps of Joseph Campbell as he tells stories of his life, his love, and his passion." "Following Campbell's own themes from Hero with a Thousand Faces, Phil Cousineau, as editor, lets that story unfold. First comes the "Call to Adventure" in which the young child, sensing the mystery and the poetry inherent in life, makes the first of his many discoveries, the Native American. Campbell immerses himself completely in this world, reading everything he can find. He then moves on, through his student days, along his own "Road of Trials" and his "Vision Quest, " searching out those places where his experiences, his own taste of life will be heightened." "An athlete, traveler, and avid scholar, he moves to Paris, where he comes in contact with his very deepest passion, the world common to all of mankind - the world of inner transformation. He finds the immortal questions revealed in mythology, art, and literature, and he begins to lecture and write as he dedicates himself to the mythology of his own personal journey."--BOOK JACKET.

  2. Mythic worlds, modern words : on the art of James Joyce

    Campbell, Joseph, 1904-1987
    1st ed. - New York, N.Y. : HarperCollins, c1993.

    This volume brings together all of Joseph Campbell's writings, as well as his lectures, on the work of James Joyce, whose use of mythological allegory helped inspire Campbell's own views on the vast tradition of mythological images and how they relate to mankind's heritage. The second in a series featuring the unpublished works of Joseph Campbell, this book covers a wide range of work from Campbell's entire career. Included are his earliest published articles on this subject, his mid-career contributions to journals and symposia and the best of his mature, syncretic interpretations of James Joyce's mythological themes.

  3. Mythic imagination : collected short fiction

    Campbell, Joseph, 1904-1987
    Novato, Calif. : New World Library, c2012.

    "Before he was the engaging professor who brought mythology into people's living rooms through his "The Power of Myth" conversations with Bill Moyers and the thinker whose ideas influenced Star Wars and whose "follow your bliss" entered the lexicon, Joseph Campbell was a young man who tried his hand at fiction. He published his first short story at 29, after years of Depression-era unemployment spent living off money earned in a jazz combo and reading the world's great literature in a syllabus of his own devising. Readers here find portraits of the hero's journey and rich symbolism, magical realism, down-to-Earth concern with the ravages of the Second World War, and even a U.S. president who wakes one morning to find his skin changed from white to black. Compelling in their own right, these seven stories are essential for longtime Campbell fans and the many who continue to discover him anew. "--""Short stories and a novella by Joseph Campbell, written before he embarked on his career as a mythologist and professor. Includes portraits of the Hero's Journey, symbolism, magical realism, Campbell's concern with the ravages of World War II, and a U.S. president who wakes one morning to find his skin changed from white to black"--Provided by publisher"--
