Description: Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) was one of the foremost interpreters of myth in our time. He was a prolific writer, dedicated editor, inspiring lecturer, and an avid scholar of art, culture, religion, and philosophy.

Joseph Campbell's yearlong journey to Asia in 1954-1955 was a turning point in his life. After ten years' work on Indian art and philosophy, he made a long-postponed journey to the East. Baksheesh and Brahman is his journal of six months of disillusionment and revelation in India and a superb illustration of his working method.
