Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. An interesting art book starting with a description of the hero and his role, followed by colour and black-and-white plates showing how the figure of the hero has been represented in different cultures and eras. I especially like the picture of Zapata by Diego Rivera that is on the front cover. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

In an age of equal rights and radical feminism, the intrinsically male figure of the hero - the protector, the saviour, the man of invincible might - has lost its identity and stature. The most famous names in the history and mythology of all races are those of heroes - Herakles and Samson, who fought with the lions; Lohengrin and Perseus, who rescued princesses; the Horatii, who saved Rome; the Samurai, warriors of Japan; Gagarin, conqueror of space; Zapata, defender of his people. Rightly used, the cult of the hero has led to the highest that a culture can conceive. Misused, it has led to tyranny, violence and death. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
