Meetings with Remarkable Men (All and Everything)

Description

The Armenian-Greek spiritual teacher, G.I. Gurdjieff's autobiographical account of his youth and early travels has become something of a legend since it was first published in 1963. A compulsive read in the tradition of adventure narratives, but suffused with Gurdjieff's unique perspective on life, it is organized around portraits of remarkable men and women who aided Gurdjieff's search for hidden knowledge or accompanied him on his journeys in remote parts of the Near East and Central Asia. A classic work, suffused with a haunting sense of what it means to live fully - with conscience, with purpose and with heart.

First Sentence

EXACTLY A MONTH HAS ELAPSED since I finished the first series of my writings-just that period of the flow of time which I intended to devote exclusively to resting the parts of my common presence subordinate to my pure reason.
