    • Nel 1961 Alejandro Jodorowsky ha seguito in Messico gli insegnamenti del maestro zen Ejo Takata che era solito raccontare storie che Jodorowsky annotava pazientemente nei suoi taccuini. In queste pagine l'autore raccoglie sessanta di quei racconti commentandoli e svelando il significato profondo nascosto in ciascuno di essi. Queste storie, haiku e koan della più classica tradizione zen rendono il discepolo capace di guardare oltre il dito, e ammirare direttamente la bellezza della luna.

      A man drives alone along the vast, desolate roads of Patagonia, a mystical land. He comes across a starving and helpless teenager, who is now the prince grown older and returned to Earth. The two travellers, extremely different in both background and personality, begin a deep, simple and meaningful conversation that gets to the heart of life's most important questions. The trip becomes a truly spiritual journey, moving from innocence to maturity, from the everyday to the metaphysical, and from sadness and cynicism to happiness and enthusiasm for life.
