Gurdjieff Remembered

Gurdjieff Remembered is the follow-up to Peter’s beloved memoir, Boyhood with Gurdjieff, which chronicles his unique childhood at Gurdjieff’s Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man in Fontainebleau, France.

In Gurdjieff Remembered, Peters emerges from military service at the end of World War II-shellshocked, lonely, and displaced-to reconnect with his father figure and spiritual mentor in Paris. Their interaction in the last months of Gurdjieff’s life and the earnest start of Peters’ maturity proves to be no less impactful than their earlier time together, particularly when Gurdjieff bestows the mantle of true successor on Fritz before an audience of his followers. Replete with a supernatural healing event, internal politics, and quirks of Gurdjieff’s character, Peters returns his clear and intuitive narrative powers to his unforgettable subject, delivering a striking memoir.
