Summary

A New York Times bestseller

Carlos Castaneda was a student of anthropology when he met don Juan Matus, a Yaqui shaman and the inspiration for Castaneda’s The Teachings of Don Juan. In this controversial follow-up, Castaneda relays his experiences being challenged by his mentor on his perception of the world and all living things in it.

Carlos was introduced to don Juan outside a bus depot in Arizona. Don Juan was supposed to take him on a guided hike to discuss plants, and Carlos was particularly interested in studying medicinal plants like peyote. For months before their first excursion, Carlos read everything he could about peyote. But nothing could prepare him for the astonishing lessons he would learn from don Juan—not just about plants and the earth, but also separate realities and multiple planes of existence.

Editorial Reviews

“We are incredibly fortunate to have Carlos Castaneda’s books. Taken together, they form a work which is among the best that the science of anthropology has produced. The story they tell is so good, and the descriptions so vivid, that I was utterly fascinated as I read.” —New York Times Book Review

“If anything, it is more strangely beautiful and provocative than his first two books. It is truly another world, foreign enough to make us suspend judgment, and Castaneda’s achievement is that he makes it tangible for us.” —Saturday Review

“Simply as literary items, the Don Juan books have a separate, altogether dislocating reality—meticulous scholarship as the vehicle for a vision that can’t be fixed in space and time.” —Kirkus Reviews
