| 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.
Publisher's Note First published in 1968, this landmark book is the first and best-loved of Carlos Castaneda's spiritual bestsellers, transfixing a generation. Initiated while a student of anthropology at UCLA, his interviews with shaman known as Don Juan introduce us to new definitions of cognition, infinity, and energy. As Walter Goldschmidt notes in his foreword, "By experiencing other worlds we see our own for what it is." Industry Reviews New York Review of Books - Edmund Leach (06/15/1969) | See an error?
