Summary
During the mid-'30s in Paris, Gurdjieff drew together four women: Solita Solano, Kathryn Hulme, Alice Rohrer, and Elizabeth Gordon - and formed a special, mutually supporting work group.
In allegory he explained: You are going on a journey under my guidance, an “inner-world journey” like a high mountain climb where you must be roped together for safety, where each must think of the others on the rope, all for one and one for all. You must, in short, help each other “as hand washes hand”, each contributing to the company according to her lights, according to her means. Only faithful hard work on yourselves will get you where I want you to go, not your wishing.
Among themselves they called their foursome “The Rope".
The company around Gurdjieff’s table, his principal teaching site, soon expanded to include Louise Davidson, Margaret Anderson, Georgette Leblanc, and Jane Heap.

Great work
I love the way the story was told And greatly enjoyed some of the passages where the narrator changed the voice to give the impression how gurgieff spoke. I do wonder why he changed peoples names. Gurgieff teachings have captivated me from the start of my journey into the 4th way.

A Great Insight into the World of Gurdjieff
This is a delightful glimpse into the eccentric world of Gurdjieff,with almost verbatim conversations from the Ladies of the Rope.
In some ways this complements the books by Fritz Peters,revealing G's generosity, his eccentricities,his strange methods of healing,his ways of teaching,even touching on his crazy ways of driving.It ends with a touching picture of his last days,death and funeral. I could have done without the cod-Russian of G's words,but that's a minor gripe,and I think in the end did add value to the reading. Highly recommended for all those interested in the life and times of Gurdjieff.
