Carlos Castaneda can be safely ranked among the greatest mysteries of the 20th century. What is known about him is that he is the author of ten best-selling books and the founder of the Cleargreen company, which now owns the rights to Castaneda's creative heritage. Everything else is nothing more than speculation, if not speculation.Castaneda carefully kept his “personal secret”, practically did not give interviews and categorically refused to be photographed (however, by coincidence, several photographs of Castaneda still exist ). He even denied that he had ever been married.Carlos every time with rapture came up with a new homeland, new parents, etc. Apparently, it just gave him pleasure, as a child gives the pleasure of telling that his dad is an astronaut. This book is the first attempt in Russian to thoroughly understand who was one of the most mysterious people of the 20th century?
