Joseph Campbell Oriental mythology The Mask of God

Oriental Mythology- An exploration of Eastern mythology as it developed into the distinctive religions of Egypt, India, China, and Japan.Through THE POWER OF MYTH, with Bill Moyers, Joseph Campbell reached an audience of millions,passing on the rich legacy  and excitement of a lifetime spent studying world mythology.THE MASK OF GOD is one of his masterworks.Upon completing it he wrote:”Its main result for me has been its confirmation of a thought I have long and faithfully entertained:of the unity of the race of man, not only in its biology but also in its  spiritual history, which has everywhere unfolded in the manner of a single symphony,with its themes announced,developed, amplified and turned about, distorted,reasserted,and today, in a grand fortissimo all sections sounding together, irresistibly advancing to some  kind of mighty climax,out of which the next great movement will emerge”.
