Originally written by Campbell in the '40s-- in his pre-Bill Moyers days -- and famous as George Lucas' inspiration for "Star Wars," this book will likewise inspire any writer or reader in its well considered assertion that while all stories
...(more) have already been told, this is *not* a bad thing, since the *retelling* is still necessary. And while our own life's journey must always be ended alone, the travel is undertaken in the company not only of immediate loved ones and primal passion, but of the heroes and heroines -- and myth-cycles -- that have preceded us.(less)

The experience of extazy while reading a book is something I have had with less than a handful of books. The most recent experience of this sort was with “The Hero…”. The author’s work of art in combining myths of far different cultures with a solid, humanistic philosophy of life is really amazing. I recommend this book not only to the mythology fans, but to EVERY ONE who is interested in understanding human being, life, nature and also the universe of human thoughts.
