True Hallucinations: Being an Account of the Author's Extraordinary Adventures in the Devil's Paradis, Paperback

Descriere

This mesmerizing, surreal account of the bizarre adventures of Terence Mc Kenna, his brother Dennis, and a small band of their friends, is a wild ride of exotic experience and scientific inquiry. Exploring the Amazon Basin in search of mythical shamanic hallucinogens, they encounter a host of unusual characters -- including a mushroom, a flying saucer, pirate Mantids from outer space, an appearance by James and Nora Joyce in the guise of poultry, and translinguistic matter -- and discover the missing link in the development of human consciousness and language.
