The texts collected here correspond to samizdat ones from 1970-90. The difference between the Internet version and the old typewritten reprints is that the electronic version of the first volume was, unfortunately, noticeably “corrected” by someone, and the seventh book is presented as the worst of the two translations that existed in Soviet samizdat. The remaining books reproduce the samizdat text exactly, with the exception of obvious typos, which are preserved in the proposed selection. I only corrected the incorrect chapter titles in the fifth and seventh books (“Second Understanding” instead of “Second Attention” in the fifth, and the same in the seventh, only there “understanding” is the first), corrected grammatical errors in some headings and also added a missing title in the fourth book (“We must believe”). Bookmakers source files WERX and Warbler. Read more about the texts of the samizdat series in the article “On the history of translation” in the book “Carlos Castaneda, books 1-2 (translated by V.P. Maksimov, edited by V.O. Pelevin, carlitoska)”
