Special Fields
DescriptionThis text explores, reveals and challenges the male psyche. Using the classic Grimm brothers' tales of "Iron John" it casts a backwards look to a time when a model of masculinity was neither Rambo or wimp, but is more in the mould of Odysseus. Table of contentsThe pillow and the key; when one hair turns gold; the road of ashes, descent and grief; the hunger for the king in a time with no father; the meeting with the god-woman in the garden; to bring the interior warriors back to life; riding the red, the white and the black horse; the wound by the king's men; the wild man in ancient religion; literature and folk life. |
