false 547608 21 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, <i>Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson</i>. <br><br> <i>Beelzebub's Tales</i> is an "ocean of story" 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. 262213 1994 Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson (All and Everything/First) total:106|5:47|4:29|3:18|2:10|1:2| 106 427 226 20 3 2 false false Fri Jun 06 09:56:11 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 06 09:56:11 -0700 2008 ...more...]]> 5 2 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 02 07:51:14 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 02 08:13:37 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1983 Wed Jun 11 20:11:50 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 16 09:03:06 -0700 2008 feelings of the reader, the beliefs and views, by centuries rooted in him, about everything existing in...more...]]> 0 2 false false Tue Dec 11 22:10:33 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 14 00:42:16 -0800 2007 3 0 false false Sat Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2000 Sun Jan 11 16:10:38 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 16:28:13 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 1974 Wed Jan 28 17:23:59 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 17:34:12 -0800 2009 3 To read this you must forget everything you expect from a modern novel and just dive in.
