Guide and Index to G. I. Gurdjieff's Beelzebub's Tales to his Grandson

The Guide and Index is a reference work which is invaluable for any intensive study of Gurdjieff's major published work. This second edition of the Guide and Index has been revised and expanded so that it can also be used with either the original 1950 edition of Beelzebub's Tales or with the 1992 edition (now out-of-print) which is a revised translation and has entirely different page numbers. The Guide and Index can be used with any reprint of the 1950 edition including the currently available 1999 Penguin/Arkana paperback. The Guide and Index also includes: ? the original Russian spelling for all of Gurdjieff's uniquely created words ? a suggested pronunciation for these and other words ? editorial notes on words from Eastern cultures and languages which may be unfamiliar to the average Western reader
