About this audiobook
Joseph Campbell, the American mythologist, writer, and lecturer, is renowned for his groundbreaking work on comparative mythology and the concept of the hero’s journey. Born in 1904 in New York, Campbell’s fascination with myths and storytelling led him to explore cultures worldwide, culminating in his seminal work The Hero with a Thousand Faces. This biography delves into his early academic pursuits, his development of the monomyth framework, and his influence on literature, film, and psychology. Campbell’s ideas have inspired generations of creators, including George Lucas, who credited him for shaping Star Wars. This book explores his life, his intellectual contributions, and his enduring legacy as a scholar who revealed the universal power of myth to connect humanity.
