The Herald of Coming Good (Holmes Publishing Group)

The Herald of Coming Good outlines Gurdjieff’s anthropological worldview and his ethical concepts regarding human realization. In it, Gurdjieff lays out an outline for his subsequent writings (which later became his well-known Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson). The 1933 original even included prospectus materials and registration blanks meant for readers who wished to subscribe to his future books or join his institute. The text is notoriously challenging to read due to its complex and dense literary style.
