Meetings with Remarkable Men

Meetings with Remarkable Men is G. I. Gurdjieff's autobiography. It was originally published in 1963 and was made into a feature film which was directed by Peter Brook and starred Terrence Stamp. It tells the tale of a young Gurdjieff growing up in a land torn between the old ways and science. The book is part of the trilogy known as All and Everything written by Gurdjieff between 1924 and 1935.

The young Gurdjieff's insatiable curiosity takes him across the world in search of the "Truth". He has many adventures and introduces us to the many people and groups that influenced his thinking. His travels are in company of remarkable men — princes, engineers, doctors, priests. These men help him shape his understanding of life and bring him the needed aid at those moments of discovery that make his journey to another level possible.
