He writes about ayahuasca with a gentleness that is rare in the literature — no bravado, no traveller's tall tales, just an account of what he was shown and how long it took him to accept it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround his voice, others gather. Pablo Amaringo, the world-famous visionary painter, talks about his art and about the shocking reasons he stopped practising. Julio Arce Hidalgo, biochemist and philosopher, brings a different lens. Don Solón, at ninety-two the sole surviving maestro of Don José's teachers, closes the circle. Charles Grob provides the foreword; Alberto Roman translates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy Don Jose Campos · foreword by Charles Grob · translated by Alberto Roman\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e200 pages, paperback, illustrated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdditional voices: Pablo Amaringo, Julio Arce Hidalgo, Don Solon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWritten after 25 years of practice and study with over 120 master curanderos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublished July 1, 2011 · 0.51 x 7.99 x 5.27 in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn introduction for readers put off by sensationalised accounts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37\"\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead it as an introduction rather than a manual.
