About this book
This is a first hand account of a disillusioned young man who, having travelled round the world studying various ways and religions, finally meets Gurdjieff in New York, and is convinced by seeing the demonstrations of sacred dances that at last he has found the Way he is looking for. The book, compiled from hundreds of pages of notes and diaries, is a record of sayings and doings of Gurdjieff and their impact on the young pupil at that time. It has also a description of life at the Ch�teau de Prieur� as experienced by the pupil.
The journal is not an exposition of the theory of the Gurdjieff system; it is rather an account of the cumulative effect on one person of practical work in an authentic esoteric school.
Note: C. S. Nott's sequel Further Teachings of Gurdjieff: Journey Through This World and his translation of Conference of the Birds are also available in Kindle format from Toward Publishing.
Basic information about Gurdjieff
Gurdjieff was born in Armenia around 1870. His first tutor was a priest and he also received a scientific education in surroundings and a way of life that had changed little for centuries. To his questions: Who am I? Why am I here? he found no answer either in religion or in science, but suspected that the truth lay hidden behind what had come down from the past in religious traditions and those strange myths and legends which he learned from his father, a traditional bard or 'ashokh'. With inspired like-minded companions, he set out to find in Asia and Africa the truth he sought, learning many languages, and acquiring many practical skills to earn the money for his journeys.
In 1912 he brought to Moscow an unknown teaching, a teaching that was neither a religion, nor a philosophy, but a practical teaching to be lived. He called this teaching 'The Fourth Way'. To follow the way he proposed, nothing is to be believed until verified by direct experience and life in the world is not to be renounced. It is a way in life, on which - gradually, for it cannot be done all at once - everything has to be questioned - one's beliefs, assumptions, attitudes, one's whole outlook on the life of man on this Earth.
“Man is asleep”, said Gurdjieff, “he has no real consciousness or will. He is not free; to him, everything 'happens'. He can become conscious and find his true place as a human being in the creation, but this requires a profound transformation”.
Gurdjieff calls us to awaken, telling us: "Man's possibilities are very great. You cannot even conceive a shadow of what man is capable of attaining. But nothing can be attained in sleep. In the consciousness of a sleeping man his illusions, his 'dreams' are mixed with reality. He lives in a subjective world and he can never escape from it. And this is the reason why he can never make use of all the powers he possesses and why he lives in only a small part of himself."

Solid Introduction
By wayne
For those trying to understand Gurdjieff as a teacher, this is one of the best accounts available. For those who have been involved for some years in the Work, and have been reading and rereading Gurdjieff's All and Everything, the third part of Nott's book, Orage's commentary on Beelzebub, is the best you will find as a guide. It is well worth the cost just for these 90 pages. I would strongly recommend this for all interested in a glimpse of what might life have been like at Fontainebleau with Gurdjieff. Additionally it gives some account of A.R. Orage who may have been Gurdjieff's best disciple and in Gurdjieff's own words "his brother." A quote from page 51 "...a question about 'freedom', and Gurdjieff began: 'Freedom leads to freedom. That is truth, not in quotation marks but in the real sense. Truth is not just theory, not just words; it can be realized. The freedom I speak of is the aim of all schools, of all religions, of all times. It is a very big thing. Everyone, consciously or unconsciously, wishes for freedom. There are two kinds, the Lesser Freedom and the Greater Freedom. You cannot have the Greater Freedom until you have attained to the Lesser Freedom. The Greater Freedom is the liberation of ourselves from outside influences; the Lesser, from influences within us."

An interesting glimpse at Gurdfieff at work.
By John Cameron
This is an interesting book for those interested in Gurdjieff the man and teacher although it doesn't explain very much about the system. If you're looking for an introduction to the 4th Way then Ouspensky's In Search of the Miraculous, The Psychology of Man's Possible Evolution, and The 4th Way are perhaps the best introductions to this amazing system.
As a long time student of the 4th Way I found re-reading this book after 20 years interesting for the glimpses of Gurdjieff at work and for Orage's comments on Beelzebub's Tales, but don't expect many answers from it. Nott has recorded some interesting moments he shared with Gurdfieff.

Not Only Personal Encounters with Gurdjieff
By Reijo Elsner
The value of C. S. Nott's books in the study of Gurdjieff is first of all due to the lack of other first hand reports from Gurdjieff's teaching in the early European and American times.
Orage's commentaries on Beelzebub gives a presentation of Gurdjieff's All & Everything with the knowledge and understanding of the man who was mainly responsible for the English version of the book.
This book became important for me when I entered into correspondence with Stanley Nott and after three years of exchanging letters moved to London to join the Work.
Stanley Nott lived to the age of 91 and passed away in 1978. His wife, Rose Mary Nott (Lillard) was the first American to enter the Gurdjieff Work. Mrs. Nott taught music and movements to a great number of people.
