The Stature of Man: An Essay on the Concept of the Hero is a non-fiction book written by Colin Wilson. The book explores the concept of the hero, a figure who embodies the highest ideals and values of humanity. Wilson argues that heroes are essential to the human experience, as they provide us with a sense of purpose and meaning, and inspire us to strive for greatness.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which examines a different aspect of the hero. Wilson begins by tracing the history of the hero, from ancient mythology to modern literature and film. He then explores the psychological and philosophical dimensions of the hero, examining the ways in which the hero reflects our deepest desires and fears.Throughout the book, Wilson draws on a wide range of sources, including literature, psychology, philosophy, and mythology. He also includes numerous examples of heroic figures, from ancient Greek heroes like Achilles and Odysseus to modern-day heroes like Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr.Overall, The Stature of Man is a thought-provoking exploration of the concept of the hero, and the ways in which it has shaped human history and culture. It is a must-read for anyone interested in mythology, psychology, or the human condition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
