Creative Mythology: The Masks of God, Volume IV Audiobook (Free)

Explore the energy of myth since it exploded from medieval European countries into the modern world

In this fourth volume in The Masks of God series—Joseph Campbell’s main function of comparative mythology—the preeminent mythologist talks about the birth of the present day, individualistic mythology as it developed in Europe from the twelfth century A.D. up through the modernist art from the twentieth century.

The Masks of God is a four-volume study of world religion and myth that stands as you of Joseph Campbell’s masterworks. On completing it, he wrote: “Its main result for me has been the confirmation of the thought I have lengthy and faithfully entertained: from the unity from the competition of man, not only in its biology, but also in its spiritual history, which includes everywhere unfolded in the way of an individual symphony, with its designs announced, developed, amplified and flipped about, distorted, reasserted, and today, within a grand fortissimo of all sections sounding collectively, irresistibly advancing to some sort of mighty climax, out which the next great motion will emerge.”
