You're looking at an outstanding condition book which is EXTREMELY RARE, hard to find and OUT OF PRINT and the fascinating memoir of FRITZ PETERS, who chronicles his extraordinary relationship with mystic and philosopher GEORGE GURDJIEFF at The Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man in France--the book is a FIRST PRINTING of a collection of the two memoirs Boyhood with Gurdjieff and Gurdjieff Remembered published together for the first time and a HARDCOVER with the ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET--it's NOT a remainder copy.  This book is in outstanding condition and the book itself has a tiny crease on the upper corner of p. 255, slight dustwear on the bottom and opening page edges and slight foxing on the bottom page edge, slight dings on the spine and upper opening tips and just slight shelfwear, a few very small age spots on about a half dozen of the book's pages and just slight shelfwear and very light evidence of gentle browsing but NO other significant flaws; the dustjacket has a small tear and crease on the upper left corner of the front surface, lower right edge of the front surface and upper left edge of the back surface, very small torn out spots on the upper right corner of the back surface, lower center of the back surface, and lower right edge of the front surface, small dings and a couple of tiny tears on the spine tips, a vertical crease on the blank front inner flap and just very light shelfwear otherwise but no other significant flaws!  The book is titled My Journey with a Mystic: Previously Titled 'Boyhood with Gurdjieff' & 'Gurdjieff Remembered;' Now Published Together for the First time in this New American Edition Them and it was written by FRITZ PETERS with an introduction by author HENRY MILLER; it was published by Tale Weaver Publishing in 1986.

At age 11, Fritz Peters med Gurdjieff and so began a journey that was to enhance and transform his life.  This is an account of that experience.  It is an extraordinary adventure, both physical and metaphysical, of a young boy and his remarkable teacher.  It provides the genesis and the logical underpinning of today's New Age psychology and the ideas of transformation in consciousness espoused by jug player and lyricist Tommy Hall in the 13th Floor Elevators.  The experiences in this book, started almost 100 years ago when Fritz Peters was first introduced to Gurdjieff at The Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man, a place of "Higher Learning" situated in a French countryside chateau.  Here begins this enchanted though real life biography of a student and his teacher; a once-in-a-lifetime friendship and mentorship which gradually illuminated the mystifying seldom taught secret of man's possibility for harmonious inner development.

A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!
