Enemy, Cripple, Beggar: Shadows in the Hero’s Path, finalists for the Theoretical category of the NAAP Gradiva® Award.
In Enemy, Cripple, Beggar: Shadows in the Hero's Path, Erel Shalit provides new thoughts and views on the concepts of Hero and Shadow. From a Jungian perspective, this Fisher King Press publication elaborates on mythological and psychological images. Myths and fairy tales explored include Perseus and Andersen's The Cripple. You'll also enjoy the psychological deciphering of Biblical stories such as Amalek - The Wicked Warrior, Samson - The Impoverished Sun, and Jacob & the Divine Adversary. With the recent discovery of The Gospel of Judas, Dr. Shalit also delves into the symbolic relationship between Jesus and Judas Iscariot to illustrate the hero-function's inevitable need of a shadow.

“Highly recommended for both personal reading lists and community library collections,” says Midwest Book Review:
“It's the most basic component of story telling the Hero and the Villain. Enemy Cripple, Beggar: Shadows in the Hero's Path takes a look at this basic concept and why it is so appealing to readers. Going to the basic psychology of the tale and how ancient stories led the way, and how they evolved through the years with mankind, Enemy, Cripple, Beggar provides an informed and thoughtful perspective concerning literary good and evil alongside society's norms and mores. An original work by Erel Shalit, Enemy Cripple, Beggar is a unique blend as a literary and psychology manual, making it highly recommended for both personal reading lists and community library collections.”
