About the author
Robert Bly
284 books413 followersRobert Bly was an American poet, author, activist and leader of the Mythopoetic Men's Movement.
Robert Bly was born in western Minnesota in 1926 to parents of Norwegian stock. He enlisted in the Navy in 1944 and spent two years there. After one year at St. Olaf College in Minnesota, he transferred to Harvard and thereby joined the famous group of writers who were undergraduates at that time, which included Donald Hall, Adrienne Rich, Kenneth Koch, John Ashbery, Harold Brodky, George Plimpton, and John Hawkes. He graduated in 1950 and spent the next few years in New York living, as they say, hand to mouth.
Beginning in 1954, he took two years at the University of Iowa at the Writers Workshop along with W. D. Snodgrass, Donald Justice, and others. In 1956 he received a Fulbright grant to travel to Norway and translate Norwegian poetry into English. While there he found not only his relatives but the work of a number of major poets whose force was not present in the United States, among them Pablo Neruda, Cesar Vallejo, Gunnar Ekelof, Georg Trakl and Harry Martinson. He determined then to start a literary magazine for poetry translation in the United States and so begin The Fifties and The Sixties and The Seventies, which introduced many of these poets to the writers of his generation, and published as well essays on American poets and insults to those deserving. During this time he lived on a farm in Minnesota with his wife and children.
In 1966 he co-founded American Writers Against the Vietnam War and led much of the opposition among writers to that war. When he won the National Book Award for The Light Around the Body, he contributed the prize money to the Resistance. During the 70s he published eleven books of poetry, essays, and translations, celebrating the power of myth, Indian ecstatic poetry, meditation, and storytelling. During the 80s he published Loving a Woman in Two Worlds, The Wingéd Life: Selected Poems and Prose of Thoreau,The Man in the Black Coat Turns, and A Little Book on the Human Shadow.
His work Iron John: A Book About Men is an international bestseller which has been translated into many languages. He frequently does workshops for men with James Hillman and others, and workshops for men and women with Marion Woodman. He and his wife Ruth, along with the storyteller Gioia Timpanelli, frequently conduct seminars on European fairy tales. In the early 90s, with James Hillman and Michael Meade, he edited The Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart, an anthology of poems from the men's work. Since then he has edited The Darkness Around Us Is Deep: Selected Poems of William Stafford, and The Soul Is Here for Its Own Joy, a collection of sacred poetry from many cultures.

رايي متفاوت فى الكتاب. اولا حاولت ان اقرأ الكتاب باللغة الانجليزية ولم استطع الانتهاء من اول جزء فى اكثر من ساعتين عاكف عليه. الكتاب لغته صعبه وغارق فى الرمزية. قررت ان اشترى النسخة العربية منها و الصراحة الموضوع لم يختلف كثيرا. اللغة للاسف صعبة والمترجم لم يحاول تبسيط اللغة المستخدمة وكانت لها تعليقات مستفزة فى الهوامش.
الكتاب يتحدث عن الرجال والخروج من طور الصبيان لطور الرجال. الكتاب كله رمزيه ويعيبة الملل والاستفاضة فى بعض النقاط ... انا متاكد لو قريته هتستفيد من اللي فهمته من الكتاب.

الكتاب يتكلم عن معضلة الرجولة في العصر الحديث كيف يصنع الرجل ومراحل الرجولة وتطورها ونضجها
الكتاب يعيبه الإغراق في الجانب الفلسفي والرمزي والذي يعني انك لا بد ان تكون من نفس البيئة لتفهم الرموز ومتعلقاتها ومعانيها
قراءته مجهدة بسبب الغنوصية والفنتازيا والرمزية العالية في الكتاب وكثرة المصطلحات والإحالات + الترجمة مزعجة
الكلام طويل ومكرر +
الكتاب ثري لكن يحتاج اختصارا بلغة سهلة ليكون واجبا قراءته لكل الرجال والنساء على حد سواء

الكتاب فيه عدد من الأفكار المهمة، أرى من أهمها طقوس الإنتماء للرجال.
لغة الكتاب كانت متحدية بالنسبالي. لكن لا يمكن إغفال الجهد الي بذلته المترجمة.
الكاتب ذكر نص أو اثنين لجلال الدين الرومي، كان هيبقا مناسب في نظري لو تم وضع النص العربي بدل المترجم.
