G.I. Gurdjieff allows the reader in these narratives to become acquainted with a person that is up to this day to many, who have for instance read his 'Beelzebub', still an enigma. You will meet a person, who is more often than not, as the esteemed Mulla Nassr Edin would say 'into the deepest galoshes that have ever been worn on sweaty feet.' In other words, you will meet G.I. Gurdjieff, the human being. The spiritual messages are hidden inside breathtaking adventures and a colorful description of really remarkable men and women and the time before and after the Russian Revolution.
