SynopsisFinally available in a popularly priced, non-illustrated, smaller-format edition, which is ideal for the college market and general reader alike, this extraordinary best-seller is a brilliant evocation of the noted scholar's teachings on mythology., 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 marriage to virgin births, from Jesus to John Lennon, offering a brilliant combination of intelligence and wit.
