En estas nuevas conversaciones con su maestro, el brujo yaqui Juan Matus, Carlos Castaneda reanuda su pugna por asimilar el conocimiento arcaico que hace del mundo un lugar pletórico de maravillas y misterios, poblado por entidades extrañas - imágenes arquetípicas, concretizaciones de energía telúrica - y que permite al iniciado vivir una vida verdadera y ganar poder sobre las cosas. La batalla del aprendiz es doble, pues además de enfrentar peligros mortales en sus contactos con la 'otra' realidad debe vencerse a sí mismo y superar moldes de pensamiento inculcados desde la infancia.

Superado el estupor de la primera inmersión en lo desconocido, narrada en

Carlos Castaneda was an Latin-American author.

Starting with The Teachings of Don Juan in 1968, Castaneda wrote a series of books that describe his training in shamanism, particularly with a group whose lineage descended from the Toltecs.

The books, narrated in the first person, relate his experiences under the tutelage of a man that Castaneda claimed was a Yaqui "Man of Knowledge" named don Juan Matus. His 12 books have sold more than 28 million copies in 17 languages.

Critics have suggested that they are works of fiction; supporters claim the books are either true or at least valuable works of philosophy.
