Description



Book Synopsis



¿Cuál es el «significado» de un árbol? ¿Y el de una mariposa? ¿Y el del sonido de un torrente? Las cosas, como los mitos, sencillamente son. Al contrario de la tendencia actual que considera la palabra «mito» como sinónimo de «mentira», los mitos no son invenciones, sino una clase especial de «acontecimientos», reconocidos por videntes y poetas, que pueden ser cultivados para el mayor bienestar de todos. En este fascinante libro, Joseph Campbell demuestra una vez más su inmensa erudición echando mano de prácticamente todas las ramas del conocimiento humano para respaldar sus argumentos. Explora los orígenes individuales y geográficos del mito, utilizando elementos tan variados como los cuentos de hadas de los hermanos Grimm, las fábulas budistas y jainistas, las interpretaciones de los sueños de C.G. Jung o las leyendas de los indios americanos. Con elocuencia y lucidez, Campbell subraya también la importancia de la mitología en la vida cotidiana. Pues los mitos no solo satisfacen una necesidad psicológica, sino que cumplen una función biológica; una función que resulta esencial para una maduración equilibrada de la personalidad.

What is the "meaning" of a tree? And that of a butterfly? And the sound of a torrent? Things, like myths, simply are. Contrary to the current trend that considers the word "myth" as synonymous with "lie," myths are not inventions, but a special class of "events," recognized by seers and poets, that can be cultivated for the greater welfare of all. In this fascinating book, Joseph Campbell once again demonstrates his immense erudition by drawing on virtually every branch of human knowledge to back up his arguments. It explores the individual and geographical origins of the myth, using elements as varied as the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm, Buddhist and Jain fables, C.G. Jung's dream interpretations or the legends of the American Indians. With eloquence and lucidity, Campbell also underlines the importance of mythology in everyday life. For myths not only satisfy a psychological need, but also fulfill a biological function; a function that is essential for a balanced maturation of the personality.
