Nikolai de Stjernvall was always close to his "dear father," G.I.
Gurdjieff, but especially so during the few months between 1937 and
1938 when he served as his father's attendant and collected such
rich experiences. As the only person who lived with Gurdjieff to
ever write about him, Nikolai's account is invaluable for providing
an intimate and human perspective of his subject unavailable
elsewhere. Supplementing his memoirs are two texts by Elizaveta de
Stjernvall, his mother, including her account of her trek with
Gurdjieff 's entourage across the Caucasus evading the Russian
Revolution, and Adele Kafian's account of caring for Katherine
Mansfield at Gurdjieff 's Institute during her final days.
Nikolai's frankness, Elizaveta's devotion, and Adele's compassion
are all faithfully maintained in the translation of Paul Beekman
Taylor, Nikolai's boyhood friend who also lived at the Prieure in
his youth.
