The hero with a thousand faces
Book • 1949
In this book, Joseph Campbell explores his theory of the 'monomyth', a universal pattern found in the mythological narratives of various cultures.
He details the stages of the 'hero's journey', which include departure from the ordinary world, initiation into a supernatural world, and return with a boon.
Campbell draws on a wide range of mythological sources and integrates insights from psychology, particularly from Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, to illustrate the common elements of heroic myths across different cultures.
