"In my opinion this is an excellent book; and when reading it did not want to put it down, finishing it in quick time. If one can tune into the fullness of the narrative; the book places the individual beside the people he biographically describes and into the times and places where this remarkable man went in search of timeless teachings, whilst at the same time paying his way, and endeavouring to share what he found to help fellow human beings. The book is helpful right here and right now as it surely must have been when it was written by an author who spices up the story with some interesting touches of the rascal that lurks in many of us when the touch of a rascal is needed for a necessary survival: will certainly read this book again." - Amazon Customer Reviews

'Gurdjieff's voice is heard as a call.
He calls because he suffers from the inner chaos in which we live.
He calls to us to open our eyes.
He asks us why we are here, what we wish for, what forces we obey. He asks us, above all, if we understand what we are . . .'

Part adventure narrative, part travelogue, part spiritual guide, Meetings with Remarkable Men is suffused with Gurdjieff's unique perspective on life. With vivacity and charm, he organizes his account around portraits of the remarkable men and women who accompanied him through remote parts of the Near East and Central Asia, and who aided his search for hidden knowledge. Among them are Gurdjieff's own father (a traditional bard), a Russian prince dedicated to the search for Truth, a Christian missionary who entered a World Brotherhood deep in Asia, and a woman who escaped slavery to become a trusted member of Gurdjieff's group of fellow seekers.

Meetings with Remarkable Men conveys a haunting sense of what it means to live fully - with conscience, with purpose and with heart.
