«La force du silence. Nouvelles leçons de don Juan» is the work of Carlos Castaneda published by Gallimard in 1988 in paperback, in French.
Carlos Castaneda takes up the teachings of the Yaqui shaman don Juan Matus and gathers new lessons on inner silence. Through stories and dialogues, the work explores the warrior's path, the power of silence as a gateway to other perceptions, and ancestral wisdom, and invites a reconsideration of the limits of ordinary consciousness.
Original title: «The Power of Silence» (1987). Translation by Amal Naccache. Eighth installment in the series «Las enseñanzas de don Juan».
For readers interested in shamanism, spirituality, and philosophy, and for those who follow the work of Carlos Castaneda.
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.
