The Hero With a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell

5.0

I read this book as a final project for an honor's class in college. It is my favorite book I've read for school. Campbell explains the monomyth and gives the reader an in-depth look into all the little facets that make up The Hero's Journey. Giving examples from readings throughout our history from Egyptian tales, to Greek Mythology, Shakespeare, and the Bible, Campbell also ties in the reason why stories follow similar patterns.
