GURDJIEFF'S EARLY TALKS - 1914-1931 (Book Studio Publishing, 2020.)

Hardback, 444 pages. 

Long awaited and much more complete version of Views From the Real World, primarily talks from sessions at the Priory and later in Paris, often with notes by different students at the same meeting.  Including the powerful exercises for meditation and self-remembering are very powerful. A seminal work for all students.

The talks in this volume are not verbatim transcriptions. In the early years of Gurdjieff's exposition of the fourth way teaching, he rarely allowed notes to be taken during his talks. The majority of his early talks were written down after the fact by pupils who were present, either individually or collectively, and should be taken as recollections of what people believed Gurdjieff to have said.

The provenance of the talks are library archives, private collections, and individuals from all around the world. They have been arranged chronologically and are presented in this edition for the first time in their entirety. Over one hundred authentic talks, unaltered and unexpurgated. Illustrated and fully indexed with exercises, sayings and aphorisms.

Condition : Unread and As New.
