The Return of the King: A Renaissance of Masculinity (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781521464083)

What does it mean to be a man today? Not a macho nor a whimp, but someone who can be strong and vulnerable, open and assertive, grounded and inspired. Many men are facing this question today. They feel confident to share their innermost feelings with women, but they lack the friendship, safety and nurturing bond with other men. They never had a good example of their fathers, who were mostly absent: physically absent, emotionally absent or spiritually absent. A few generations of men have became lost sons, doing their best but without a clear picture of what it means to be a man This is the story of a book that reached thousands of men in Holland, Belgium and Germany and is now available for the international market. 'The Return of the King' describes the challenges of manhood today and gives solutions for a new and healthy masculinity. At the same time it adresses the role men play in our changing society. It gives a clear and hopeful view of the crises and transformation in the world today. Using initiationstories, like the tales of Parcival, Hamlet or Iron John, but also modern stories like the Matrix, The Titanic and Lord of the Rings, men are guided along the path to manhood. A road less traveled. It challenges men to leave the fortress of their mind and to follow their heart, thus fulfilling an ancient and archetypal theme: the Return of the King...'A powerful book for men.'
