IN SEARCH OF P.D.OUSPENSKY -
The Genius in the Shadow of Gurdjieff
by Gary Lachman
Quest Books 2004 Hardback/Wrapper 329 pages
euro 30.00
This book focuses on Ouspensky's own mystical view
in stark contrast to Gurdjieff's opinion of "man as machine".
What attracted Ouspensky to Gurdjieff in the first place, and
why did he then reject him? Why did Ouspensky continue to
teach the ideas of the man he had repudiated?

P.D.OUSPENSKY: PIONEER OF THE FOURTH WAY
By Bob Hunter
Quality paperback, 302 pages euro 30.00
In 1915, P.D.Ouspensky, one of the most prominent thinkers
of the 20th century, met G.I.Gurdjieff, who revealed to him
the system of ideas he had been searching for in his travels.
After establishing himself in England and later in the USA,
he devoted his life to teaching the ideas now known as
The Fourth Way.
The austere manner in which he delivered lectures, in
accordance with the times, won him a reputation of a severe
intellectual, but, as this book shows he was also a warm-hearted
man with an extraordinary insight into people, as well as history
and science.
His books TERTIUM ORGANUM and A NEW MODEL OF THE UNIVERSE were
forerunners to his IN SEARCH OF THE MIRACULOUS and THE FOURTH WAY.
They introduce a new way of living in the ordinary circumstances
of our lives.
In this book Bob Hunter sets out to give a new perspective on
Ouspensky to whom we owe a great debt of gratitude.

Four CD set of BEELZEBUB'S TALES TO HIS GRANDSON
read by Dr Welch -- MP3 Format --
Traditional Studies Press 2004 -- euro 60.00
Gurdjieff died in Paris in October 1949, with Dr William Welch
in attendance. Subsequently, Dr Welch became an active member
of the Gurdjieff Foundation of New York, and served as its
president from 1984 until his death in 1997.
In the Fall of 1992, a few people close to Dr Welch approached
him about the possibility of recording his reading of BEELZEBUB'S
TALES. Reading BEELZEBUB'S TALES aloud was one aspect of the oral
tradition, which Gurdjieff himself first learned in his father's
workshop, and which is practised in his teaching. Dr Welch agreed
to read, and the recording sessions began in the Welches' apartment.
On Sunday evenings, beginning at nine o'clock. Dr Welch would read for
about half an hour; these readings were often followed by discussion
that would continue late into the night.

Ricardo Guillon RECORD OF A SEARCH -
Working with Michel Conge in France
Traditional Studies Press, 2004
Paperback, 117 pages, euro 25.00
Michel Conge was born in Pau, southwest France, in 1912.
Early in his life he decided to devote himself to "seeking
the real behind appearances". His quest first led him to
medicine. While working as a medical biologist at the
Institut Pasteur in Paris he met the writer René Daumal, who
introduced him to Jeanne de Salzmann. She soon invited him
to work directly with G.I.Gurdjieff. Beginning in 1949, with
active encouragement of Gurdjieff and Mme de Salzmann, Conge
gathered around himself and his wife, Gilles, a nucleus of
men and women whose search he accompanied and led until his
death in 1984.
