About this listen

"The event which compels me into this book was my meeting with the celebrated mystic, teacher, and philosopher, George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, whom I encountered as if by chance and came to love as if by design."

Kathryn Hulme's life was radically changed and enriched by the influence of Gurdjieff. Undiscovered Country is a tribute to him and his teachings, a vivid personal memoir of her experience as his student, and of the burning spiritual intensity that dominated her life as a result of his influence.

"This is a 'must' for all interested in Gurdjieff and his school, and strongly recommended for all who are concerned in the Pilgrimage of the Soul. It gives the best intimate picture I know of what it meant to be a 'follower of Gurdjieff's ideas'." (J. G. Bennett)

"A picture of the relation between a teacher and his pupil...the way he opens her to a wider world through a relation which touches the whole of one’s being." (Jeanne de Salzmann)

Insights into How this author came to write The Nun’s Story (made into the film starring Audrey Hepburn

I am glad that I listened to this book, but it’s debatable as to whether I enjoyed it. One of my favorite books is The Nun’s Story,was also written by this author.
To my mind this book, it’s about the life journey of the author until the time when she decided to write a fictional account of her friend’s time as a nun from the late 1920s through two World War II.

This book documents, amazing recollections of the post earthquake fires of San Francisco in the early 20th century. It provides insights into how a woman worked in factories and heavy industry instead of staying at university. It tracks how she moves from this into becoming a writer.

The book describes the author’s encounters with her spiritual teacher and her life in Paris during the 1930s. It gives insight into a small group of women who also followed the same teacher. This group became known as.The Rooe. This book is probably the only account of this group’s activities

The latest stages of the book provide an account of the authors work with the United Nations first refugee and displaced persons organization. The author was responsible for the successful settlement of thousands and thousands of displaced person’s post World War II.

It is in this time in the post war displaced person’s camps That she meets her lifelong friend who had been a nun.

I don’t think this book would make much sense unless you were Keenly interested in the woman who wrote the novel called The nun’s story.
