Description

The Armenian-Greek spiritual teacher, G I Gurdjieff's autobiographical account of his youth and travels has become something of a legend since it was published in 1963. This book is organized around the portraits of men and women who aided his search for knowledge or accompanied him on his journeys in remote parts of the East and Central Asia.

Author description

Gurdjieff was born in Alexanderpol in 1877 and trained both as a priest and physician. For some twenty years he travelled in the remotest regions of Central Asia and the Middle East, moulding his thought. On his return he began to gather pupils in Moscow, and from this base his ideas began to spread worldwide.
