Publisher's Synopsis
In "The Enchantment of the Heroic Journey", author Carolina Bacelar delves deep into mythology, analytical psychology, and literature to examine the archetype of the hero and its crucial role in the evolution of human consciousness. Drawing on the thoughts of intellectuals such as Joseph Campbell, C. G. Jung, and Erich Neumann, this book sheds light on the process of individuation and how the heroic journey symbolizes this transformative path.
In this study, you will discover why the heroic myth continues to resonate in various forms of literary expression, from classic literature to entertainment-oriented productions. More than an academic study, this book serves as a mirror for contemporary society, showing how the persistent presence of this myth meets a human need to seek meaning in an increasingly disenchanted world. "The Enchantment of the Heroic Journey" is more than an intellectual exploration; it is a call to action to re-enchant our world through a deep understanding of the myths that shape us. If you are interested in mythology, human development, or seek to understand the cultural roots of today's challenges, this book is a must-read.
