Since 1973, when Castaneda's book was published, the teachings of Don Juan, his books, have sold millions of copies worldwide. The reason Castaneda has survived for so long is that he has never been the creation of a counterculture. He is an anthropologist, a mystic, a poet, a gifted writer, who has revealed to all of us the treasures of a religious and philosophical experience that blossomed long before the white man came to the American continent and which continues to flourish - the experience of the Native American. It is the achievement of the author to explore the world of sorcerers that Don Juan, a Yaqui Indian magician, opened up to him, whose relationship with Castaneda became the most famous friendship between teacher and student in modern literature. After his disappearance from Castaneda's last books, Don Juan now returns, wise, provocative, capable of miracles and pranks, always seeking the wisdom of the warrior, art and magic simultaneously.
