JCF is pleased to announce the electronic publication of Oriental Mythology, available for digital download as our thank you to Associates when you donate $9.99 or more to the Foundation. In this second volume of The Masks of God, Joseph Campbell looks at Asian mythology as it developed over the course of five thousand years into the distinctive religions of Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, China, and Japan. The Masks of God is a four-volume study of world religion and myth that stands as one of Joseph Campbells masterworks. On completing it, he wrote: Its main result for me has been the 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 of all sections sounding together, irresistibly advancing to some kind of mighty climax, out of which the next great movement will emerge. This new digital edition, part of the Collected Works of Joseph Campbell series, includes over forty new illustrations. The other three volumes of this series are in the process being revised, edited, and formatted for digital release. To donate and download, visit the link below (be sure to select whether your download should be in .mobi format, used primarily by Kindle, or ePub – the Nook reader, iBooks, and most non-Amazon devices – and refer to the download FAQ if needed). (And forgive the duplication – we will be repeating this announcement shortly, but with the link in the comments section; whenever we place a link in the text of a status update, Facebook limits the number of individuals who see it unless JCF pays an advertising fee that exceeds what we receive in donations).
