But his was an impossible passion and, filled with despair, he pined away. Over the years the myth has inspired painters, writers, and film directors, as well as philosophers and psychoanalysts. The tragic story of Narcissus, in love with himself, and of Echo, the nymph in love with him, lies at the heart of this collection of essays exploring the origins of the myth and some of its many cultural manifestations and meanings relating to the self and the self's relationship to the other. Through their discussion of the myth and its ramifications, the contributors to this volume broaden our understanding of one of the fundamental myths of Western culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePart I:\u003c\/b\u003e Origin and Development of the Narcissus Myth\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePart II:\u003c\/b\u003e Mirrors and Self Reflection\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePart III:\u003c\/b\u003e Narcissus Written and Re-Written\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePart IV:\u003c\/b\u003e Identity and Otherness\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePart V:\u003c\/b\u003e Images of Narcissism\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePart VI:\u003c\/b\u003e The Fate of Narcissus\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041419526487,"sku":"9781571814166","price":26.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781571814166.jpg?v=1750950200","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/echoes-of-narcissus-9781571814166","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
