«L'isola del Tonal» is the novel by Carlos Castaneda, published by RL Libri in paperback (400 pages, in Italian).
A student of ethnology tries to learn the arts of sorcerers, but for ten years believes they are mocking him. In the end he discovers that this supposed deception is a teaching technique to initiate him into another knowledge. The work closes that apprenticeship with a series of visions that are, at once, initiation and farewell.
Fourth volume of the series «The Teachings of Don Juan». Italian translation by Furio Jesi. Original title: «Tales of Power».
Aimed at readers interested in the work of Carlos Castaneda and in spirituality.
Carlos Castaneda was a Peruvian-American writer, trained as an anthropologist. Starting in 1968, Castaneda published a series of books that describe alleged training in shamanism that he received under the tutelage of a Yaqui "Man of Knowledge" named Don Juan Matus. While Castaneda's work was accepted as factual by many when the books were first published, the character of Don Juan and the training he described is now generally considered to be fabricated and to have little relation to the actual cultural practices of the Yaqui. Castaneda's early writings featuring Don Juan were bestsellers with the general public, and are considered to be a significant influence on neoshamanism and the New Age movement more broadly.
