Views from the real world: Early talks in Moscow, Essentuki, Tiflis, Berlin, London, Paris, New York and Chicago as recollected by his pupils ReviewThis book is unique among the primary "Gurdjieff texts". Unlike Fragments, G is unmediated by Ouspensky, and unlike Herald and All & Everything, the collected texts in this book (aside from the opening story Glimpses) are transcribed from oral talks given by G to his pupils, not volumes prepared for publication. So the 'voice' here is very direct, authentic according to the oral tradition.
Due to the nature of this collection, the matter is pretty eclectic, not tied down to just one particular time or place where Gurdjieff gave his ideas. It thus gives a great deal of amazing material on just about every aspect of 'the fourth way' that you could imagine. (This is why Fragments, great though it is, is a bit 'narrow' in the sense that it is all based on one specific period (fairly short) of G's work.) Also interesting is that between each section of the book, little 'aphorism'-type snippets are included from here and there, things G has said, presumably, which someone has jotted down...
All in all, although perhaps a certain amount of 'preparatory study' is advisable through Fragments and Beelzebub, this is essential food for someone serious about the work.
Incidentally, this hardback first edition of the book contained one talk (very interesting) which was withdrawn from all subsequent editions, called ""Answer to a question about the difference between animate and inanimate". I don't know why it is no longer included in the book, but in any case permission has been obtained and the talk is now available on the 'holy planet Purgatory' website.
