Exciting and amazing is Carlos Castaneda's book - the culmination of his initiation into the world of magic. A magic that is more of a cosmology and a way of life than a practice of otherworldly mystery. "The earth, this is the true love of the warrior."

In his previous three books, Carlos Castaneda takes equal steps, triumphant and daring, into the unknown, into a different world.

All this is nothing but preparation. The long preparation to reach, with the Stories of Power, the fulfillment of Don Juan's duty. To become a "man of knowledge" and a "man of power" through an incredible journey full of tricks and dangers, visions and lessons. A journey to conquer the explanation of the sorcerers - to conquer a new cosmology, a new attitude towards the things of the world and our own existence. A journey not only in the desert and canyons of Mexico, but also in the world of the modern metropolis, where Don Juan uses the crowd of the street and the scenes of the city to spread Carlos' perception. A journey that, through storms of emotions and endless solitary moments, leads to an explanation that is both initiation and touching farewell. The Stories of Power are Don Juan's final words and the fulfillment of Carlos' wonderful and unique opportunity to open the "gate of the unknown."
