Las Enseñanzas de Don Juan
Book • 1968
This book, submitted as Castaneda's Master's thesis in anthropology, describes his alleged apprenticeship with don Juan Matus, a Yaqui Indian sorcerer from Sonora, Mexico.
The narrative is divided into two sections: 'The Teachings,' which details Castaneda's initial interactions with don Juan, including encounters with psychoactive plants and spiritual entities; and 'A Structural Analysis,' which attempts to analyze the internal cohesion of don Juan's teachings.
Despite its initial reception as an ethnographic account, the book is now widely regarded as a work of fiction.
It was a New York Times best-seller and has sold over 10 million copies in the United States.
