About This Item
London: Neville Spearman, Publisher, 1973. Second printing. Black cloth boards, gilt embossed spine titles, moderate wear. Pages very good. Hinges fully intact; bind strong, moderate cant. Dj moderate wear, discoloration; clipped, protected in clear sleeve. Front jacket portrait of Gurdjieff on black b.g. In 1923 Kenneth Walker met a man who was destined to exert an immense influence over his life, P.D. Ouspensky who, in turn, had learnt his knowledge from Gurdjieff. This book, first published in 1951 and out of print for many years, sets out to give an account of the impact of this knowledge on a man who had received an orthodox scientific education and who was in no way a searcher for esoteric truth. It is a chronicle of a journey through the bewildering inner world of ideas, a journey made by the author w/two remarkable men. It is a search for truth. Venture with Ideas has undoubtedly an important message to humanity in this critical period of history. Dedicated to that arch-disturber of self-complacency the late G. Gurdjieff. Backside of jacket includes full spread of summaries of other Neville Spearman titles on magic, alchemy, societies, and the paranormal. 192 pages. Insured post.. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Book.
