Grateful. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Authentic Work! *by P***R on 18 December 2023* "Between the times when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamt of. And onto this came Conan, destined to bear the jewelled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow. It is I, his chronicler, who alone can tell thee of this saga. Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!" THIS is how this book should have begun, followed by a style that (again) should have reminded us of Basil Poledouris in all his glory. Alas! That did NOT happen. It's a very erudite, very heavy work. Campbell is no Howard. Neither did he try to get published in Weird Tales. But then what exactly did he do, that has made this tome such a reverential text? The book has the following major sections~ * Prologue: The Monomyth— probably the most important part of this book that acts as the pod from which springs forth the rest of the book. Part I: The Adventure of the Hero— it has further sections titled 'Departure', 'Initiation', 'Return', and 'The Keys'. Part II: The Cosmogonic Cycle— it has further sections titled 'Emanations', 'The Virgin Birth', 'Transformation of the Hero', and 'Dissolutions'. *Epilogue: Myth and Society. These are followed by Endnotes, Bibliography, Index etc. The book is heavily illustrated and densely packed with all types of notes. Reading it makes one dizzy and/or gives a serious headache. But Campbell very convincingly establishes the case that~ Firstly, like the Jungian archetypes that describe our present existence, there exists archetypes that describe and define our myths to a great extent. Secondly, these archetypes describe, predict, apprehend the rise and fall of heroes in every culture, who might have played extremely significant roles in the prevailing religion, culture, and collective psyche of the people. Thirdly, these archetypes have a close association with cosmogony of the people and the notion of time and creation shapes the destinies of these heroes to a great extent. To establish these thoughts and principles, Campbell has scoured the myths of East, West, North and South. Empirically he has taken Hellenic or Abrahamic characters as his heroes (with the exception of Buddha). But he has talked about characters, events and myths of nearly every country. So convincing has been his presentation that ever since publication the monomyth of Hero's journey has influenced pop-culture rather excessively. Star Wars, Harry Potter, countless fantasy and scifi works have followed these tropes consciously or unconsciously. Thus, Campbell would have been very pleased to know, his theory has become an Ouroboro! But it's so dense that keeping track of all the myths, comparing them with the illustrations (and trying to find parallel examples in pop-culture— which I ALWAYS do) gave me a serious headache. Hence I am dropping a star. But otherwise this is definitely recommended. And let's hope that someday, SOMEDAY, this book would be written in the style that would have made Howard happy. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Hero with a Thousand Faces (The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell) - The Power of Myth - The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work (The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/77001019-the-hero-with-a-thousand-faces-the-collected-works-joseph](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/77001019-the-hero-with-a-thousand-faces-the-collected-works-joseph) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-09-23*
