"Episodes with Gurdjieff" was a disappointment, I hope this one is better.
In January 1920, Tcheslaw Tchekhovitch, 20 years of age, was part of the Polish contingent of the Tsars army in retreat to Constantinople.
While haunted by memories of the atrocities of the Bolshevik revolution, he had a strange intuition that there exists another life, a life full of meaning. Seeing a poster announcing lectures by P.D. Ouspensky titled The ancient wisdom of the East revealed through a new current in Western thought, he decided to attend. This contact led to Tchekhovitchs providential meeting with G.I. Gurdjieff, the man who would become his teacher and spiritual master.
Gurdjieff: A Master in Life chronicles 28 years of intense interaction between master and pupil, and sheds fresh light on the methods Gurdjieff used to open his pupils to an inner reality. Among Tchekhovitchs remarkable anecdotes are stories of Gurdjieffs family, life at the Prieuré, painful learning experiences, and mysterious cures.
