authoritative translation.

With Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson, G.I. Gurdjieff intended to
"destroy, mercilessly . . . the beliefs and views about everything existing
in the world." This novel beautifully brings to life the visions of humanity
for which Gurdjieff has become esteemed. Beelzebub, a man of worldly
(and other-worldly) wisdom, shares with his grandson the anecdotes,
personal philosophies, and lessons learned from his own life.The reader
is given a detailed discussion of all matters physical, natural, and
spiritual, from the creation of the cosmos to man's teleological purpose
in the universe.
