Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. First Thus 1st Printing. Remainder Mark; Rear Cover Pulled From Sticker Removal; Light Creasing on Front, Rear Covers; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Moderate Yellowing Due to Age. COVER: The cover shows a photograph of P. D. Ouspensky reproduced by courtesy of Mrs Nagro. CONTENTS: Introduction by Fairfax Hall; Acknowledgments; Letter I; Letter I; Letter III; Letter IV; Letter V; Epilogue from In Denkin's Russia by C. E. Bechhofer. SYNOPSIS: Although Ouspensky is most famous for works of philosophy and mysticism, he was also a supremely perceptive observer. Written in conditions of great hardship just after the Russian Revolution, these letters offer a classic eyewitness account of those turbulent times and a deeply prophetic understanding of the roots of modern Russia. Beneath the day-to-day struggle for existence, Ouspensky reveals how the forces unleashed by the Bolsheviks were overwhelming his country and posed immense dangers to the rest of the world. Today, as the Soviet empire is again being transformed, his insights are more valuable than ever. C. E. Bechhofer's touching and amusing account of a visit to Ouspensky in late 1919 provides the perfect epilogue. P. D. Ouspensky was born in Moscow in 1878. His first book, The Fourth Dimension (1909), offered a contribution to mathematical theory; it was Tertium Organum (1912) and A New Model of the Universe (1914) that revealed his stature as a thinker and his pre-occupation with the problems of man's existence. His meeting with Gurdjieff in 1915 marked a turning point in Ouspensky's life. From that time his interest centred on the practical study of methods for the development of consciousness in man, as expounded in In Search of the Miraculous, The Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution (both published after his death in 1947) and The Fourth Way (1957). These methods are also discussed in A Further Record. Strange Life of Ivan Osokin, published in 1947, the year of his death, was Ouspensky's only novel, and he wrote two short stories, published under the title Talks with a Devil. Many of his books are published in Arkana, including Conscience: The Search for Truth, a collection of essays. P. D. Ouspensky died in England in 1947. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Remainder.
