Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

With Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson, G.I. Gurdjieff intended to "destroy, mercilessly ... the beliefs and views about everything existing in the world." This novel beautifully brings to life the visions of humanity for which Gurdjieff has become esteemed. Beelzebub, a man of worldly (and other-worldly) wisdom, shares with his grandson the anecdotes, personal philosophies, and lessons learned from his own life.The reader is given a detailed discussion of all matters physical, natural, and spiritual, from the creation of the cosmos to man's teleological purpose in the universe. This edition of Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson — the first single-volume paperback to appear in English — restores the original, authoritative translation.

Synopsis:

This is a cosmological epic. It examines human life on Earth from the viewpoint of beings belonging to a distant world, led by the "all-wise Beelzebub".
