Reviews

Praise for Joseph Campbell: "No one in our century--not Freud, not Thomas Mann, not L�vi-Strauss--has so brought the mythical sense of the world and its eternal figures back into our everyday consciousness."
--James Hillman "Campbell has become the rarest of intellectuals in American life: a serious thinker who has been embraced by the popular culture."
