The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way Of Knowledge

by Carlos Castaneda

From the Publisher:

In 1968 University of California Press published an unusual manuscript by an anthropology student named Carlos Castaneda. The Teachings of Don Juan enthralled a generation of seekers dissatisfied with the limitations of the Western worldview. Castaneda’s now classic book remains controversial for the alternative way of seeing that it presents and the revolution in cognition it demands. Whether read as ethnographic fact or creative fiction, it is the story of a remarkable journey that has left an indelible impression on the life of more than a million readers around the world.

Praise for the Book:

“Taken together [Castaneda’s books] form a work among the best that the science of anthropology has produced.” – The New York Times Book Review

“[Castaneda’s book offers] extraordinarily rich, hallucinogenic evocations of ancient paths to knowledge based on what he described as an extended apprenticeship with a Yaqui Indian shaman named Don Juan Matus.” – Chicago Tribune
