Editorial Reviews
Review
"The symbols of mythology and legend are all around us, embedded in the fabric of our daily lives, and the Moyers-Campbell dialogues are a welcom guide to recognizing and understanding their meanings." -- Cincinnati Post.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
From the Publisher
Joseph Campbell, the world's foremost authority on mythology, and journalist Bill Moyers offer a brilliant combination of wisdom, wit, and illuminating conversation. The Power Of Myth launched an extraordinary resurgence of interest in Joseph Campbell and his work. To him, mythology was the "song of the universe, the music of the spheres." With Bill Moyers as his thoughtful and engaging interviewer, The Power Of Myth touches on subjects from modern marriag to virgin births, from Jesus to John Lennon, offering a brilliant combination of intelligence and wit.
