Description
In this vivid portrait of G. I. Gurdjieff, Fritz Peters goes back to the 1920s to recall the four boyhood years he spent in France at Gurdjieff's Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man. Peters tells how the Master used every situation in the life of the community to illustrate his principles and how the rigorous demands that he made even on children were always tempered by warmth and humanity. Boyhood with Gurdjieff is much more than a picture of a great spiritual leader and of the extraordinary disciples who followed him into a new way of life. Above all, it is a primer on the inner education of sensitive young people.
