Publisher Notes
In THE TEACHINGS OF DON JUAN, Carlos Castaneda published the account of his five-year apprenticeship to don Juan, a 70-year-old Yaqui Indian known to be a brujo--"a medicine man, curer, sorcerer." Now, in A SEPARATE REALITY, Carlos Castaneda tells how he returned to don Juan and resumed the dangerous initiation necessary to become "a man of knowledge."
Media Reviews
"A SEPARATE REALITY is extraordinary in every sense of the word, and much more than a sequel. While it has the same intelligent modesty, graceful modulation, and narrative skill as his first book, Castaneda here abandons his frustrating reticence. As he comes closer to don Juan in his struggle through his mystical obstacle course, their relationship takes on another dimension. This book ceases to be simply phenomenological reportage. The anthropologist's rescue of an alien language from oblivion becomes a moving personal quest, an autobiography."
First Line
Don Juan looked at me for a moment and did not seem at all surprised to see me, even though it had been more than two years since I had last visited him.
