The Hero's Journey project is based upon the concept known within the comparative mythology and the narratology fields as the Monomyth, first introduced by Joseph Campbell. Within the project, author searches for the examples of various cultural texts, and examines how they fit within the structure, interpreting them through the narrative and psychological lenses. One of the featured works shows the journey of Ged Sparrowhawk, protagonist of the novel A Wizard of Earthsea by Ursula K. Le Guin, and his transformation from the ambitious yet overly proud young adept of magic, into the responsible and powerful wizard and a man who is whole and his own master.
