The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for writers (E-Book, EPUB)

At the heart of any compelling storywhether it's a fairy tale, a myth, a plot for a novel, or a screenplayis the hero's journey, internal or external. This idea became a guiding star for Christopher Vogler when, while working in the story department of a Disney studio, he tested the effectiveness of the mythological schemes described in Campbell's famous work "The Hero with a Thousand Faces". Later, a practical guide written by Vogler for colleagues turned into a classic textbook, which is not only included in the circle of mandatory reading for future writers and screenwriters, but has not lost its leading position among many books of this kind for decades. In A Writer's Journey, the author invites the reader to explore the shaky boundaries between myth and modern storytelling, warning of the difficulties and dangers of the journey into the depths of one's own soul, and equipping one with useful tools that, in the hands of a skilled craftsman, acquire incredible power.
