Strange Life of Ivan Osokin

Viac o knihe

2012 Reprint of 1947 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. "The Strange Life of Ivan Osokin" is a novel by P. D. Ouspensky. It follows the unsuccessful struggle of Ivan Osokin to correct his mistakes when given a chance to relive his past. The conclusion fully anticipates the Fourth Way Philosophy which typified Ouspensky's later works, in particular the final chapter's description of the shocking realization of the mechanical nature of existence, its consequences, and the need to work in an esoteric school.
