‎Lo sciamano del Rio delle Amazzoni. La storia di Manuel Córdova-Rios‎

‎br. Questo libro è un documento sulla vita di una tribù indigena dell'Amazzonia all'inizio del '900. La voce narrante è quella di Manuel Córdova-Rios, rapito appena quattordicenne da un gruppo di indiani Amahuaca, mentre si trovava presso un campo d'estrazione del caucciù nella giungla peruviana. Più di sessant'anni dopo, divenuto un famoso guaritore, Córdova-Rios ha deciso di narrare la sua storia a un testimone d'eccezione: Bruce Lamb. Córdova-Rios attribuisce i suoi poteri sciamanici al periodo trascorso presso la tribù e, in particolar modo, alle intense sedute effettuate sotto l'influenza dell'ayahuasca, o yagé, un potente allucinogeno al quale viene attribuita la facoltà di trasportare gli esseri umani in regni dove telepatia e chiaroveggenza sono condizioni normali. In particolare narra come ha imparato il sapere della foresta e degli Amahuaca direttamente dalle visioni indotte dall'estratto di ayahuasca e descrive ripetute esperienze di coscienza condivisa. Le sue parole danno vita a un testo che trasporterà il lettore in mondi remoti e di eccezionale suggestione: il regno della giungla, primitivo, spietato e d'indicibile bellezza; il regno della tribù, con il suo antico sapere e le sue cerimonie, e il regno delle visioni, intenso, colorato, simbolico, ma altrettanto vivo e reale.‎

‎(Firenze, 1954) stralcio con copertina posticcia muta, pp. 133/141. - !! ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.‎
