The Flight of the Wild Gander
Explorations in the Mythological Dimension
Joseph Campbell
Über dieses Buch
In these essays – contemporary with his years at Sarah Lawrence and with his legendary Cooper Union lectures – Campbell explores the origins of myth, from the Grimms' fairy tales to Native American legends. He explains how the symbolic content of myth is linked to universal human experience and how the myths and experiences change over time.
Included is the famed essay "Mythogenesis," which traces the rise and decline of a Native American legend.
