The Diary of Madame Egout Pour Sweet: With Mr. Gurdjieff in Paris 1948-1949 by Rina Hands

The word “egout,” the French word for sewer or drain, refers to the honorary title conferred on Rina Hands by Gurdjieff during her stay with him in Paris during the last months of his life from August 1948 to October 1949. It was one of the titles Gurdjieff used during his extraordinary meals with his pupils. Rina Hands typed Beelzebub’s Tales, took part in daily activities at Gurdjieff’s flat, and wrote this diary primarily for herself. This book is hardback and bound by hand.
