Title: A Night of Serious Drinking: A Novel
Description: In a work that presents the teachings of Gurdjieff and Ouspensky in the form of symbolic fiction, the narrator, intoxicated after an evening of revels with friends, is taken on a journey that ranges from sublime paradises to the depths of human hells. Reprint. A Night of Serious Drinking is among RenĂ© Daumal's most important literary works. It is a work of symbolic fiction that can be enjoyed purely as an entertaining and imaginative story, but also for the much deeper meaning enwoven into its deceptively simple plot: An unnamed narrator spends an evening getting drunk with a group of friends. As the party becomes totally intoxicated and exuberant, the narrator embarks on a journey that ranges from seeming paradises to the depths of pure hell. Brand new Paperback.
