Mark, who is lonely and unhappy, meets Anna Voigt, a teacher who becomes his mentor. Anna, an ex-hippie poet, encourages Mark to write, and he becomes part of a circle of teenagers who meet at Anna's house to smoke pot and read poetry. She introduces him to the Beats, Zen Buddhism and the popular pseudo-anthropologist, Carlos Castaneda, author of Journey to Ixtlan. Mark goes on a semi-comic suburban vision quest, trying to conduct his life according to the teachings he uncovers in the books he finds through Anna , most significantly, Castaneda's. Mark soon discovers all these books share the belief that through a loss of \"self\" one can, somehow, transcend reality. A Separate Reality is a novel about the risks and appeal of the desire to be perfect a portrait of the artist as a young man in the Seventies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LIBRIS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61781742813514,"sku":null,"price":5.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/4404\/2826\/files\/IMG_2863_fb658ef3-59bc-40d2-ae20-e84165d07249.jpg?v=1778156365","url":"https:\/\/www.libris.lt\/products\/carlos-castaneda-a-separate-reality","provider":"LIBRIS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
