Sisällön kuvaus:
There can be few modern thinkers whose personality and ideas have attracted so much controversy as those of George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff. His colourful and exceptional life and unconventional methods caused a legend to spring up around his name, and his writings have never ceased to fascinate and mystify. Gurdjieff was indeed a man with a mission. His declared role was to sow the seeds of a new awareness - a ´self-remembering´ - that would ultimately lead human beings to that higher destiny for which they were created. An accomplished theorist, master psychologist and most stimulating companion, he drew people to him like a magnet. His many disciples kept alive his teaching, which continues to exert a powerful influence and is still gaining adherents. J.H. Reyner, a long-time student and follower of the Gurdjieff teaching, penetrates to the truth behind the legend. He outlines the development and basic principles of Gurdjieff´s system, often referred to as ´the Work´ because of its overwhelming significance for the future of mankind. This is an illuminating and timely book that will be of interest to anyone intrigued by the history of ideas and in what has become referred to as ´man´s possible evolution´.
