A Separate Reality

Carlos Castaneda's first book, The Teachings of Don Jüan, was hailed as a "classic" (Publishers' Weekly) and as "an extraordinary spiritual and psychological document" (The New York Times).

In A Separate Reality, Castaneda resumes his apprenticeship with his teacher, determined to go deeper still into Don Juan's world of mys-tical sensation and perception, to learn to see beyond the surface reali-ties of life.

A Separate Reality has already been recognized as a new classic by reviewers across the country:
A Separate Reality is extraordinary in every sense of theword, and much more than a sequel. While it has the same intelligent modesty, graceful modulation and narrative skill as the first book, Castaneda here aban-dons his frustrating reticence. As he comes closer to Don Jüan in his struggle through his mystical obstacle course, their relationship takes on another dimension. The book ceases to be simply phenomenological reportage. The anthropologist's rescue of an alien language from obliv-ion becomes a moving personal quest, an autobiography.
—The New York Times
In The Teachings of Don Jüan (1968), Castaneda described his harrow-ing descent into the Stone Age mind. In A Separate Reality his adventure dramatically broadens to disclose in the trampled culture of the American Indián a secret spiritual tradition that produces men of pro-found character and eerie psychological powers.
