Carlos Castaneda takes the reader into the very heart of sorcery,
challenging both imagination and reason, shaking the very
foundations of our belief in what is "natural" and "logical." His
landscape is full of terrors and mysterious forces, as sharply
etched as a flash of lightning on the deserts and mountains where
don Juan takes him to pursue the sorcerer's knowledge--the
knowledge that it is the Eagle that gives us, at our births, a
spark of awareness, that it expects to reclaim at the end of our
lives and which the sorcerer, through his discipline, fights to
retain. Castaneda describes how don Juan and his party, left
thisworld--"the warriors of don Juan's party had caught me for an
eternal instant, before they vanished into the total light, before
the Eagle let them go through"--and how he, himself, upon
witnessing such a sight, jumped into the abyss.
