This bestseller is a new vision of what a man is or could be, drawing on psychology, anthropology, mythology, folklore and legend.
"Important. Timely and powerful." - New York Times
Robert Bly writes that it is clear to men that the images of adult manhood given by popular culture are worn out-men can no longer depend on them. In Iron John , Robert Bly looks at the importance of the Wild Man (reminiscent of the Wild Woman in Women Who Run With the Wolves), who he compares to a Zen priest, a shaman or a woodman. He explores the idea of the missing father in contemporary society.
Iron John draws upon a cornucopia of legend and literature-as varied as the poetry of William Blake, Jungian psychology, and Sioux initiation rituals-to encourage men in their pursuit of the "inner warrior."
