Arrived in the post today - having a wonderful time reading Joseph Campbell's
The Hero With a Thousand Faces and
The Power of Myth.
It's inspiring wonderful discussions of mythology, dreams, Freudian and Jungian psychoanalysis, cultural ritual and tradition, legend, and lore.
An excerpt shared by the J.C. Foundation to FB last night:
"You can tell what's informing a society by what the tallest building is. When you approach a medieval town, the cathedral is the tallest thing in the place. When you approach an eighteenth-century town, it is the political palace that's the tallest thing in the place. And when you approach a modern city, the tallest places are the office buildings, the center of economic life."
