Produktbeschreibung
Rookie reporter Serge Dunlov and his photographer friend Thad Morton are assigned to find the American anthropologist who sparked the Mushroom Rush in the 1960s when he found and wrote about Maria Sabina, the high priestess of the magic mushroom cult in Mexico's Sierra Mazatec. The anthropologist has disappeared. The mission quickly turns into a brutal encounter with local officials. The two young men become involved in the indigenous struggle for respect and equal rights. They climb the mountain to 'trip' with Maria Sabina. The backdrop to their adventure is the invasion of the Sierra Mazatec by American hippies and dropouts searching for new drug experiences, new idols after being disillusioned by the inhumanity of the Vietnam War and the failure and flaws of world communism.

Autorenporträt
Uli Schmetzer was a well-known foreign correspondent for Reuters News Agency in Latin America and for the Chicago Tribune in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Since he left journalism Schmetzer, an Australian of German descent, has written five books. 'Times of Terror' is a correspondent's critical autobiography of his profession. 'The Chinese Juggernaut' tells the stories of prominent Chinese expatriates and illustrates how Chinese minorities gained complete economic control over South East Asian countries without firing a shot but failed in Australia - until recent times. 'Gaza, ' is Schmetzer's first novel, the romance between a German and a Jew set among the insoluble and cruel Israeli-Palestinian conflict. 'The Lama's Lover' tells ten startling short stories from around the world that cover areas about injustice, greed and misogyny. All the author's books are based on personal experiences encounted during his career. Schmetzer lives partly in Venice, Italy in Noosa, Australia and in Puerto Princessa, Philippines.
