"One of the main works of Miguel Serrano. Translated and published in many languages, it also has a prologue written by CG Jung, this being the only time that the famous professor presented a purely literary work. A magical story, "a dream within other dreams", as he described it, where mythical and archetypal figures such as King Solomon, Melchizedek and the Queen of Sheba appear in an environment of millennia old.

Serrano (1917 – 2009), was a Chilean diplomat, writer, occultist, and fascist activist. In 1942, he joined an occult order founded by a German migrant which combined his political ideology with ceremonial magic and kundalini yoga. In 1953, Serrano joined the Chilean diplomatic corps and was stationed in India until 1963, where he took a keen interest in Hinduism and wrote several books. In 2008, Serrano was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award (Premio a la Trayectoria) from the Universidad Mayor of Santiago.
