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 . . .
George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff (1877-1949) was born in Alexandropol
and trained in Kars as both a priest and physician. Gurdjieff
travelled in the remotest regions of Central Asia and the Middle
East, before gathering pupils in Moscow before the First World War
and continuing his work on the move - first to Essentuki in the
Caucasus, and then through Tiflis, Constantinople, Berlin and
London to the Ch teau de Prieure near Paris, where he re-opened his
Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man in 1922 on a larger
scale.
The story of his unremitting search for a real and universal
knowledge, and the exposition of his ideas, are unfolded in his
major works- Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson, Meetings with
Remarkable Men, Life is Real Only Then, When 'I am' and Views from
the Real World.
