El Viaje Interior
El Viaje Interior represents the second part of Claudio Naranjo’s Journey of a Hero.
The twenty-one illustrations here travel through the Oriental stories; these pervading the incredible Indian epic, the Mahabharata, following with the Middle-Eastern folk tale Aladdin, while seeking light in Iran through Muskil Gusha; the Old testament is of course a grand source of knowledge and amazement; further on dipping into China with the Xi You Ji, gallivanting ahead through the romantic story of Yusuf and Zulaika and finally reaching the heroic Tibetan tales of Gesar.
With the highest regard, I pay my respects to Josef Cambell, for he encapsulates the cycle and patterns of the Monomyth of a Hero.
