Synopsis
In THE TEACHINGS OF DON JUAN, Carlos Castaneda, an anthropologist with an interest in peyote and psychedelics, introduces Don Juan Matus, the Yaqui Indian shaman who became Castaneda's teacher and passed on to him the wisdom of a long line of sorcerers. Under the tutelage of Don Juan, the author embarked on a quest to transcend the boundaries of self and identity through drugs, magic, and dream analysis. The accounts of Castaneda's visionary drug experiences in Mexico can be viewed as either "field notes" or fiction, but there is no doubt that the book, published in 1968, struck a chord with an audience who identified with the author's need to break the bonds of convention and assert his individuality. THE TEACHINGS OF DON JUAN and Castaneda's many sequels continue to be popular with readers interested in mysticism, parapsychology, and alternate realities.

Industry Reviews
"Despite the last 50 pages of jargon-loaded 'structural analysis,' this is a work of art rather than of scholarship, and it is as a diary of unusual personal experience that the book deserves attention. Assessed on this basis, the book is not of superlative quality, perhaps, but very good indeed."
New York Review of Books - Edmund Leach (06/15/1969)
