Ouspensky 's work on accessing a higher level of conciousness
beyond everyday reality is a valuable legacy well worthy of
consideration today.One of the most original thinkers of the
twentieth century, Pyotr Demianovich Ouspensky was a complex and
romantic soul. A promising young intellectual in Tsarist Russia, he
won recognition as a novelist and philosopher, yet descended into
self-chosen obscurity as a teacher of "the Work," the system of his
great contemporary Gurdjieff. Today it is as Gurdjieff 's chief
disciple that he is remembered, yet Colin Wilson argues
convincingly that he is to be considered a major writer and man of
genius in his own right. A nostalgic melancholy Russian, one of
Ouspensky 's deepest instincts was that man can find his own
salvation, yet towards the end of his turbulent life he lost faith
in the System and drank himself to death. With sympathy and
admiration, Colin Wilson throws new light on this gentle man and
deep thinker.
