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.
