Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The udated and revised third edition provides new insights and observations from Vogler's ongoing work on mythology's influence on stories, movies, and man himself. The previous two editons of this book have sold over 180,000 units, making this book a 'classic' for screenwriters, writers, and novelists. Book News Annotation:This edition of the well-known text on the connection between
mythology and storytelling contains a revised chapter on the Star
Wars series, new illustrations and diagrams, and new chapters
(presented in the appendices) on life force operating in stories, the
mechanism of polarity in storytelling, the wisdom of the body,
catharsis, and other concepts. The book is meant for all types of
writers and outlines guidelines for plot and character development,
focusing on character archetypes and the stages of a "hero's
journey," drawn from Jungian psychology and the mythic studies of
Joseph Campbell. Vogler uses movies to give examples throughout. He
is a story consultant for Hollywood film companies and teaches
filmmakers and writers around the world.
