Synopsis: Bennett first read Beelzebub's Tales in 1948. He regarded it as a work of superhuman genius, containing expressions of reality, which, by their very nature, were bound to make severe demands on any reader. With Gurdjieff's approval, he undertook a series of lectures in London focusing on the essential meaning of Beelzebub's Tales. More than commentaries, these "talks" are an invitation into the deeper meanings of Gurdjieff's enigmatic "tales.&” This book was compiled and arranged soon after the last years of Bennett's life by Anthony Blake. Now, thirty-years after that initial compilation, Blake gives us a new foreword with contemporary insights into the visionary message of Gurdjieff's &“tales to his grandson.&” Although Bennett's talks were intended to be a companion to reading and understanding Gurdjieff's masterwork, Anthony Blake's foreword allows even those unfamiliar with Gurdjieff's Tales to begin a journey into the depth of its meaning.
