    • G. I. Gurdjieff plasmó su enseñanza en las tres series de libros: Relatos de Belcebú a su Nieto, Encuentros con Hombre Notables y La Vida es Real Sólo Cuando Yo Soy, ésta última incompleta. La presente obra no procede de su puño y letra, sino que es una recopilación de sus palabras y de sus instrucciones directas dadas en conversaciones y conferencias celebradas en Essentuki, el Prieuré, Nueva York, Londres, y también mientras viajaba de una ciudad a otra con sus alumnos, a menudo en condiciones difíciles. Son notas que fueron reunidas de memoria por algunos de los que escucharon estas conversaciones y que luego las transcribieron fielmente, siendo atesoradas y protegidas.

    • With the outbreak of the Second World War, Gurdjieff's American and English students were unable to return to Nazi occupied Paris, nevertheless, Gurdjieff continued to teach despite difficult and dangerous wartime conditions. In 1938, Jeanne de Salzmann introduced her French work group to him, and with this nucleus, Gurdjieff held regular meetings at his Paris flat throughout the occupation. In question and answer format, Gurdjieff answers his students' questions on practical work in daily life and gives specific advice, guidance, and exercises. Among those present in Gurdjieff's company at this time were Rene Daumal, Luc Dietrich, Jeanne de Salzmann, Tcheslaw Tchekhovich, Henri Tracol and Rene Zuber. Thirty-three meetings held at 6, rue des Colonels Renard, Paris Second edition with new material Complete and unexpurgated"

      The Herald of Coming Good was first published in 1933, describing Gurdjieff's establishment of The Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man, his writing activity and the supposedly imminent publication of Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson. It is a mysterious publication that has received less attention rhan perhaps it deserves.

      Over one hundred years ago in Russia, G. I. Gurdjieff introduced a spiritual teaching of conscious evolution—a way of gnosis or “knowledge of being” passed on from remote antiquity. Gurdjieff’s early talks in Europe were published in the form of chronological fragments preserved by his close followers P. D. Ouspensky and Jeanne de Salzmann. Now these teachings are presented as a comprehensive whole, covering a variety of subjects including states of consciousness, methods of self-study, spiritual work in groups, laws of the cosmos, and the universal symbol known as the Enneagram. Gurdjieff respected traditional religious practices, which he regarded as falling into three general categories or “ways”: the Way of the Fakir, related to mastery of the physical body; the Way of the Monk, based on faith and feeling; and the Way of the Yogi, which focuses on development of the mind. He presented his teaching as a “Fourth Way” that integrates these three aspects into a single path of self-knowledge. The principles are laid out as a way of knowing and experiencing an awakened level of being that must be verified for oneself.

    • 'You must learn not what people round you consider good or bad, but to act in life as your conscience bids you' For twenty years, the spiritual teacher Gurdjieff journeyed through Central Asia and the Middle East. Part travelogue, part adventure, part spiritual guide, Meetings with Remarkable Men vividly describes his encounters with the people who aided his search for knowledge: his father, a bard, who handed down to him tales of wonder and magic; a Russian prince dedicated to the truth; a Persian dervish who taught him a new way of living; a woman who escaped slavery to become a trusted fellow seeker. Through them, we see a young man discovering the answers to who we are and what it means to live fully. With a new Introduction by Gary Lachman

This novel beautifully brings to life the visions of humanity for which Gurdjieff has become esteemed. Beelzebub, a man of worldly (and other-worldly) wisdom, shares with his grandson the anecdotes, personal philosophies, and lessons learned from his own life.The reader is given a detailed discussion of all matters physical, natural, and spiritual, from the creation of the cosmos to man's teleological purpose in the universe. This edition of Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson --the first single-volume paperback to appear in English--restores the original, authoritative translation.
