Book Reviews of Myths to Live By
Book Review: Books to Read
Summary: 4 Stars
This anthology is a collection of lectures given by Campbell at Cooper Union from 1958 to 1971, and covers such topics as love, war and peace, zen, schizophrenia, and the differences between East and West. Anyone already familiar with Campbell's work won't find anything new here, but newbies may find this a good place to get started. Some of Campbell's books can be intimidating, but in his public lectures, Campbell was able to reduce even the most complex issues for general consumption. Hopefully this will encourage them to pursue his work in greater degree. So, definitely a book for a newbie interested in Campbell or mythology in general, but not particularly helpful for people already acquainted with his work.
