  <about><![CDATA[Georges Ivanovich Gurdjieff (Георгий Иванович Гюрджиев, Georgiy Ivanovich Gyurdzhiev,Gurdjiev; January 13, 1872 ? – October 29, 1949 ), was a Greek-Armenian mystic and self-professed 'teacher of dancing'. He claimed that the teachings he brought to the West from his own experiences and early travels expressed the truth found in other ancient religions and teachings relating to self-awareness in one's daily life and humanity's place in the universe. It might be summed up by the title of his book: Life is Real Only Then, When 'I Am'. ]]></about>

    <![CDATA[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.]]>

    <![CDATA[The teaching of G. I. Gurdjieff (1866-1949) has come to be recognized as one of the most original, enduring, and penetrating of our century. While Gurdjieff used many different means to transmit his vision of the human dilemma and human possibility, he gave special importance to his acknowledged masterwork, <em>Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson</em>. <br/><br/> <em>Beelzebub's Tales</em> is an &quot;ocean of story&quot; and of ideas that one can explore for a lifetime. It is majestic in scale and content, challengingly inventive in prose style, and, for those very reasons, often approached with apprehension. The first English language edition of the Russian original appeared in 1950. Since then, readers have recognized the need for a revised translation that would clarify the verbal surface while respecting the author's own thought and style. <br/><br/> This revised edition, in preparation for many years under the direction of Gurdjieff's closest pupil, Jeanne de Salzmann, meets this need. Originally published in 1992, this translation offers a new experience of Gurdjieff's masterpiece for contemporary readers. It is presented in a sturdy cloth edition that echoes its original publication.]]>

    <![CDATA[<br/>Right around the turn of the 20th century, G.I. Gurdjieff initiated a group of spiritual adventurers called the &quot;Seekers of Truth&quot;. These intrepid intellectuals of every stripe criss-crossed Africa and Asia in search of the hidden mysteries of antiquity. In Meetings with Remarkable Men, Gurdjieff narrates their exploits while drawing portraits of these extraordinary figures (including one woman and a dog). Half travel journal, half autobiography, Meetings with Remarkable Men begins with Gurdieff's childhood, when he finds his book learning at odds with paranormal events that were self-evidently real but inexplicable through modern science. Later he discovers a map of &quot;pre-sands Egypt&quot; and evidence of the Sarmound Brotherhood, alleged keepers of ancient wisdom dating back four-and-a-half millennia. He climbs the Himalayas, follows the Nile, and is led blindfolded to a mysterious monastery. In his encounters with dervishes, monks and fakirs, Gurdjieff recovers the wisdom he seeks, by comparison with which European understanding, he says, is backwards and barbaric. A controversial figure in his time, Gurdjieff inspired deep love and loyalty in his pupils and ridicule from sceptics. At the bookends of Meetings with Remarkable Men, Gurdjieff suggests the value of blurring the line between allegory and straight reporting. But then what exactly is Meetings with Remarkable Men? You be the judge. --Brian Bruya --This text refers to the Paperback edition. <br/>]]>

Gurdjieff offers guidance to his &quot;community of seekers,&quot; through a selection of talks given in 1930, autobiographical material crucial to understanding his ideas, and the incomplete essay &quot;The Outer and Inner World of Man.&quot; Available for the first time in paperback, this is the ultimate piece of Gurdjieff's work that his numerous followers have been waiting for.]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;The Gurdjieff tradition, commonly referred to as &quot;The Work,&#8221; describes people&#8217;s daily lives as completely mechanical, conducted asleep. Gurdjieff's intent, as with many sacred traditions, was literally to aid in one's awakening. The tools for doing this are many but integrated. The various methods of &quot;The Work&quot; are intended to specifically integrate a person&#8217;s physical, emotional, and intellectual centers into a fourth way of consciousness. Like Zen, this tradition has been an oral one emphasizing the relationship of teacher to student. But there have also been extensive writings on this tradition, and <em>The Inner Journey</em> collects some of the best of these in the form of  essays, interviews, and fables. To expand readers&#8217; experience and understanding of both Gurdjieff's life and his teachings, the book is bundled with the feature film <em>Meetings with Remarkable Men,</em> Peter Brook&#8217;s critically acclaimed adaptation of the early years of Gurdjieff&#8217;s search for meaning.&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[In 1923 and 1924 Gurdjieff and de Hartmann worked on developing their jointly-composed music for public performances, played by orchestras in both Paris and New York. The performance scores survived and have been the focus of research by Gert-Jan Blom. With help from many sources, he has now published a combination book/CD set around these exceptional events in the history of Gurdjieff s public activities. The set comprises four CDs and one hardbound book containing numerous reports and recollections related to the performances and to contemporary circumstances in France and New York. Dozens of photos appear, including many not previously published.]]>
