ISBN: 9798259022478 - the shadow king: a modern retelling of the epic of gilgamesh (6 resultados)

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The Shadow King is a powerful and deeply psychological retelling of the ancient Epic of Gilgamesh, reimagined through the lens of modern depth psychology, Jungian philosophy, and the timeless human struggle for meaning. In this haunting and intellectually rich work, Dr. W. Sumner Davis transforms one of humanity's oldest surviving stories into a profound exploration of power, mortality, trauma, identity, and the search for wholeness.Far more than a simple retelling, The Shadow King journeys into the hidden architecture of the human psyche. Gilgamesh is portrayed not merely as a legendary king, but as a fragmented man trapped beneath grandiosity, fear, and the burden of his own unresolved Shadow. Through his encounter with the wild Enkidu, his confrontation with death, and his desperate search for immortality, the ancient myth becomes a striking reflection of modern psychological struggles.Blending literary storytelling with Jungian analysis, archetypal symbolism, mythology, and existential insight, this book explores themes of narcissism, individuation, grief, the unconscious, masculine identity, and the eternal tension between humanity and divinity. Ancient Mesopotamia becomes a mirror through which contemporary readers may confront their own fears, wounds, and longing for meaning.Both scholarly and emotionally resonant, The Shadow King stands at the intersection of mythology, psychology, philosophy, and spiritual reflection. It is a book for readers of Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, ancient mythology, and those seeking deeper understanding of the human condition itself.At its heart, this is not merely the story of Gilgamesh.It is the story of every person who has ever stood face to face with loss, mortality, and the terrifying possibility of truly knowing themselves.…
