Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

As an audiobook editor, I was struck by the depth and scope of Joseph Campbell's research in Oriental Mythology. Arthur Morey's narration brings a level of authority and charisma to the audiobook, perfectly conveying the excitement and wonder of Campbell's discoveries. At times, however, the density of the material and the complexity of Campbell's theories can make for challenging listening – particularly in the more abstract discussions of symbolism and cultural anthropology.
