false 122600 15 In this deeply learned book, poet and translator Robert Bly offers nothing less than a new vision of what it is to be a man.<P> Bly's vision is based on his ongoing work with men and reflections on his own life. He addresses the devastating effects of remote fathers and mourns the disappearance of male initiation rites in our culture. Finding rich meaning in ancient stories and legends, Bly uses the Grimm fairy tale "Iron John," in which the narrator, or "Wild Man," guides a young man through eight stages of male growth, to remind us of archetypes long forgotten-images of vigorous masculinity, both protective and emotionally centered. Simultaneously poetic and down-to-earth, combining the grandeur of myth with the practical and often painful lessons of our own histories, Iron John is a rare work that will continue to guide and inspire men-and women-for years to come. 604566 1990 Iron John: A Book About Men total:418|5:98|4:139|3:114|2:40|1:27| 418 1495 620 47 4 3 false false Thu Jun 12 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 10 13:45:21 -0700 2008 Thu Jun 12 02:10:53 -0700 2008
